The Coquetdale Arts Centre is in Rothbury, Northumberland. It was set up in 1975 to promote, display and sell art for the benefit of local people, and also visitors to the area.  It is a registered charity, run by a committee, with the help of a large band of  custodians, who man the Gallery 7 days a week from April to December. Without them, it would be impossible to open the Gallery, and their contribution is appreciated.
We are always looking for more local people who would be prepared to give as little as a day a month to add to our list of custodians; full training is given, and a day spent in our pleasant Gallery, meeting  visitors & selling art-work is very rewarding.  A small payment is offered to cover expenses. PLEASE NOTE; GALLERY WILL BE OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK IN 2012, SO WE REALLY DO NEED MORE CUSTODIANS.

We have a   large gallery exhibiting the work of more than 100 local artists. Our studio offers classes throughout the year to all ages and abilities. The gallery will reopen on 1st April, 2012.  From then, until mid December it will be open every day. Monday to Saturday 10.30 - 4.00, and Sunday 1.00 - 4.00.  The website now has a NEW members section where all the information is available about joining  the CAC and exhibiting your work.

In addition to the gallery and the studio, we are developing an online gallery that enables our artists to showcase their work. The Northumbrian Room (previously the Exhibition Room) exhibits only pictures with local interest.

Thank you for visiting the Coquetdale Arts Centre website, if you have any questions or comments, please contact us.  We are always adding to our gallery and website, so please come back soon.
