Gala Durham is committed to supporting emerging talent and the development of new work by regional artists.
R&D Space
We provide space for work that is in its early stages of development. If you’d like to tell us about a project you’re working on, please contact Gala Programming.
Bridging The Gap
We are delighted to have joined the line-up of stellar venues for the brilliant Bridging the Gap scheme which offers a supporting package of work to artists or companies making work in the North East or Yorkshire.
Venues North
Venues North is a network of venues from across the North of England who are committed to supporting artists to create new work. Our aim is to work together as venues to support new and emerging artists from the North to get their work more widely seen regionally, nationally and internationally.
Venues North is not a closed network or an exclusive group of venues, but open to any venue in the North that shares this commitment to artist development and new work.
This Routes In guide is about finding ways of offering audiences a deeper, more meaningful engagement with touring work, resulting in new and different relationships between artists and venues. It has been put together to help artists and companies making new work overcome some of the barriers to getting their work programmed.
