Our mission at Monkfish Productions is to nurture artists through creative interventions in new and unusual spaces. We work through the arts to collaborate with a wide range of communities, and to support individuals to unlock their creative potential.

Producing Place

Producing Place is our exciting new approach to working in places and spaces. Over the next few months, we will be focusing on the lovely Bandstand at Saltwell Park in Gateshead as a way of testing out our newly developing Producing Place Framework. And we are commissioning two artists in residence to help us test it out, working with the local community to bring their ideas to life.

We are thrilled and delighted to announce that Sofia Barton is our first Producing Place artist in residence. You can find out more about Sofia and her work here.

We can't wait to update you all on progress for Producing Place...watch this space....

...We are thrilled and delighted to announce that we have been awarded funding from Arts Council England and Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland towards developing Monkfish as an organisation, towards our Producing Place programme work with artists in spaces, places and communities, and towards the development of our work with young people with A Little Bit of Good In The World

#ALittleBitOfGood

A Little Bit of Good in The World is a new project exploring ways in which we can all stand together to do and share our own bits of good in the world where we work and where we live.

Like everyone else we are adjusting to the circumstances under CV-19, exploring our virtual world and thinking about what our 'new world' is going to look like as we emerge from lockdown.

We are still here, still thinking, talking, making and creating, and we would love to hear from you. We also have some exciting projects in the pipeline which we will be posting about here soon.

But in the meantime....

Stay home. Stay safe. Stay well.
