North Tyneside Art Studio has been transforming the lives of people experiencing mental health issues for nearly 30 years.
From a specialist art studio in North Shields, we provide a space for people to come and explore their creativity and discover how painting, printmaking, pottery and more can improve and support their mental health.
Our supportive and caring community is made up of people from all walks of life, each with experience of mental health issues ranging from complex and life long conditions to short term, situational stress, depression and anxiety.
We focus on long term impact, and work with people to build skills that can empower them to use art as a tool that supports their mental health for the rest of their lives. 95% of our members report relief from negative feelings and emotions, and 73% feel able to create art independently after 3 months with us.
We offer a range of ways to get involved and learn how the arts can have a positive impact on your mental health, through our main studio referral based programme (NTAS, North Shields), our public facing drop in programme in Wallsend (NTAS II, Wallsend) and North West of the county, alongside our outreach work with a variety of organisations across North Tyneside.
We are members of the Mental Health Alliance. You can read more about it here.
