Press & Marketing

We hope to continue relationships with specialist and national publications to assist the promotion of the NewcastleGateshead Art Fair.

In 2009, the high profile event followed an extensive marketing programme incorporating a mix of PR with many marketing partners including The Sage Gateshead, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Arts for Business, Arts Council North East, ONE North East, Gateshead Council, Newcastle City Council, and media partners the Newcastle Chronicle & Journal (NCJ Media) and Art of England.

The NewcastleGateshead Art Fair also hopes to continue working alongside NCJ Media. Along with its main daily papers, NCJ Media has numerous publications including the monthly 'Culture' magazine and Exclusive. Art of England is one of the widest read magazines for galleries and art buyers and sold in leading newsagents across England.

Every year literature distribution will see the circulation of 120,000 promotional leaflets covering Manchester, Yorkshire, the North East, Scottish Boarders and Edinburgh, hitting local and tourist hotspots along with information centres and places of high population.

This works alongside our own extensive e-marketing, advertising, direct mail, posters, banners and online promotions.
