Northumbria Fine Art
Auction 2015
by Samantha Potts
A sophisticated evening of Fine Art,
entertainment and good company…
Situated at the iconic Baltic the 2015 Northumbria
Fine Art Auction approached a level of
professionalism beyond the expectations of a
student auction. With donated artwork from artists
associated to Northumbria such as Kate Hawkins,
Alice Browne, Helen Baker and Graham Dolphin, this
event was really not one to be missed.
The evening of art and entertainment set a
performance from artist Lucy Moss and a traditional
sword dance by the Addison Rappers alongside over
70 Lots of contemporary artworks. Not only did the
auction reflect the high level of ambition by the
current third year students but it also provided an
insight into the thriving studio culture at
Northumbria University, offering an advanced
snippet of what to expect in the Fine Art degree
show on Tuesday 16th June.
Hosting such a diverse range of works from both up
and coming and established artists, it came as no
surprise that the evening was a great success, raising
over £3,000 to support Northumbria’s graduating
artists, helping to support future projects and the
production of this very publication.
