The Northern Festival of Illustration
This celebration of visual storytelling returns in 2025 with the powerful theme ‘Stories of Home’. Rooted in the belief that illustration is a universal language, the 2025 festival highlights the illustration’s unique power to capture emotion, communicate identity, and preserve culture. Whether through picture books, comics, animation, or digital media, this year’s programme explores how we use illustration to tell the stories that matter most—those that define where we come from, and what we call home. At the heart of the festival is the flagship ‘Stories of Home’ exhibition at Hartlepool Art Gallery, a curated showcase of works from international illustrators working across a variety of mediums. Running for the full duration of the festival, the exhibition will be accompanied by a dynamic series of family-friendly workshops, author/illustrator events, and community activities.

North Shields - 800 Years in the Making
This exhibition takes visitors on a journey from the town’s humble beginnings with a small settlement of shiels – fishermen’s huts – at the mouth of the Pow Burn where the fish quay is today, through wars and conflict, innovation and prosperity, through to growth and development. Although its main focus is eight centuries of the town’s history, it starts with an explanation of how archaeological evidence suggests a prehistoric settlement near Northumberland Park dating back almost 6,000 years and how the earliest legends speak of battles between gods and giants.

Mac Collins: Miscue
Slugtown is pleased to present Miscue, an ambitious solo exhibition by British visual artist Mac Collins. In Miscue, Collins will transform the gallery into an immersive abstraction of a traditional pub. Initially informed by The Limekiln pub in Nottingham, Collins is interested in the point where cultures collide and merge, and both the camaraderie and conflict that can occur in civic spaces. An amalgamation of pub and social club references will influence the installation with a colossal and distorted pool table confronting viewers as they enter the space. Contrasting the sleek table, upholstered panels adorn the surrounding walls, enveloping the space in ubiquitous textures synonymous with public house environs.

Colour: A Season of Shades, Tints & Tones
What is colour? Why does it mean different things in different cultures and times? And how has colour been linked to power, value, and even prejudice? From the deep blues of religious art to the fiery reds of political movements, colour is more than just something we see – it’s something we feel, use, and sometimes even smell. Colour: A season of shades, tints & tones dives into this fascinating world, revealing how colour influences our beliefs, our identity, and our reality. Expect works from Wassily Kandinsky, Andy Warhol and Hokusai, alongside the beguiling plumage of the ruby-topaz hummingbird and more everyday uses of colour from cosmetics to Cadbury’s purple.

What the Others Built
This exhibition resurrects the Exquisite Corpse. The reimagining of this surrealist game of chance brings together the diverse practices of Peter Hanmer, Paul Raymond and Stuart Mel Wilson. All three artists have developed a shared composition; an environment mirroring the way in which humanity’s disconnected, often short-sighted actions construct increasingly unpredictable and precarious forms of existence. Fragmented figures, unexpected juxtapositions, and shared absurdities reflect not only the spirit of chance, but the deeper tensions and harmonies that arise when artists relinquish ego and embrace the unknown together.
