Arthouse Lighthouse

​at St Mary's Lighthouse

“What is saved in the cinema when it achieves art is a spontaneous continuity with all mankind. It is not an art of the princes or the bourgeoisie. It is popular and vagrant. In the sky of the cinema people learn what they might have been and discover what belongs to them apart from their single lives.”

 John Berger.

St Mary's Island Causeway, Whitley Bay NE26 4RS

What: A variety of work in both mixed media and the moving Image curated by Tracey Tofield.

Tracey has a semi-curatorial practice and in connection with Ema Lea curatorial policy is simple- -lovely people and very, very high quality work. Pseudonyms are everywhere – names change. Arts and ideas flourish and grow. 

St Mary's Lighthouse:

It's a special and unique space to engage in film and in fact dictates the dates of our festival each year (tide wise) !

Arthouse Lighthouse event takes place in St Mary's Lighthouse. Unfortunately there is no disabled access to the first floor event space or the tower. 
Care must be taken when leaving the island across the causeway, in the dark. Staff are there to assist if required.

We'd like to thank Adam Kelsey (Lighthouse Manager) for his continued support with these screenings over the years. Thank you!

Thanks to North Tyneside Council.
