THRIVE has a dual motive. One, it is the official launch of the arthive collective, Arthive gallery and a studio hub for arthivers. Two, it is due time to pay respect to some of Newcastle’s finest artists. The exhibition showcases artists’ works throughout the entire building, or hive as we like to call it, so the audience will be completely surrounded and engulfed by art and its antics. For a busy and productive hive to succeed, we need to embrace all artists, to create an art space that feels open and accessible to the art world and the public in general. This exhibition utilises many different groups, styles and subcultures that work in Newcastle to bring them together in a hive of activity.The studio Artists gain access to their gallery for the first time to exhibit, whilst allowing outside artists to create works in the corridors, walls, stairs and outside areas. The exhibition will provide live music over the entire opening, breaking for the art auction that will help fund the Arthive collective’s future projects.

We have only just received the keys and as you can see we have a lot to do... we need your support.
Come join us at 4pm, 4 July at the Lock Up Cultural Centre, 90 Hunter St Newcastle for a evening on music, performance and art in the exercise yard and cells (pictures courtesy of the Lock Up Cultural Centre).
Entry is by donation and you have a chance to win a canvas created by artists from our studio hub.
'On a Shoestring' and ARThive offically kicked off with a walk through and opening on Saturday 13 June.
Interest was high with many observers having to hold off making their purchases until after 7pm so the artists could get a chance to see their works before they came down.
Thank you to everyone who came to check out the show and especially those who dug into their pockets for donations and purchases as they were greatly appreciated.
Make sure you stop by again soon as more works will cycle through this unique exhibition.
Arthive is a newly established ARI that wants to make art accessible to as MANY people as possible! Soif you haven't exhibited yet and want to know how to get started, send some questions to arthive.
