The Tin Shed is a unique creative collective of artists and makers from the north of England and Scottish Borders.

We have been showcasing art and design online and via our pop-up fairs and exhibitions since 2013

We started our journey as Love Art Northeast with one small monthly arts' event.

Within a few months we had doubled in size and soon had a number of monthly and annual across events Newcastle-upon-Tyne where we were based at that time. These included a monthly art fair and annual exhibition at Newcastle Central Station, an annual fair at St Nicholas Cathedral and two-day outdoor art festival at Grey's Monument. 

The pandemic and a house move to north Northumberland led to a new name, new website, new online artists' studios, new events

and new venues. The online studios are now home to around 50 artists and continue to grow alongside our pop-up fairs, exhibitions and makers' markets across the Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.

Here are a few of our wonderful venues and events over the years. (Main image - Northbound Expo 2014)
