Launched in 2003 culture¹⁰ provides a programme of world-class events and festivals for North East England. It aims to support ambitious, challenging and transformational events to increase participation, develop new audiences, animate the area’s outstanding public spaces and cultural institutions and build the region’s national and international profile.

The programme is funded by One NorthEast, Gateshead Council, Newcastle Council, Arts Council England, North East, Northern Rock Foundation, TyneWear Partnership and the Millennium Commission.
