Open Call

Event organiser for a Market Showcase Event for designer-makers, artists, and creative businesses

About the project 

Newcastle University Business School and Creative Heritage Studios are working in partnership to deliver the 'Commercialise Without Compromise' programme’ an initiative designed to equip creative practitioners, artists and designer-makers with the skills and confidence to commercialise their practice. This programme has been supported by Creative Central: NCL (formerly known as Newcastle Culture and Creative Zone), funded by the North of Tyne Combined Authority and Newcastle City Council and will culminate in a vibrant 3-day event at the Grainger Market in Newcastle. Our aim is to showcase the project and the incredible businesses that have taken part in this transformative journey.
