Releasing creative talent in South Tyneside

Spectrum is the creative hub of South Tyneside. It is a group run by the local creative community – people who passionately believe in encouraging creative talent.

We are placing creativity at the centre of the local economy and at the heart of the community, so that every person has the opportunity to realise their creative potential.

Our aims are to:

• Improve creative skills, especially amongst the young
• Raise creative and cultural participation, across the entire community
• Use creativity to engage disadvantaged groups
• Increase the number of creative businesses in the borough
• Increase the impact creative enterprise has on the local economy
• Establish a centre/s for creative activity
