Project funders

Culture Connect is a project by Northumbria University, North East Combined Authority (NECA) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

Where data comes from

Our website compiles data from culture sector organisations in Newcastle and other sources. Anyone can view, download and analyse the data we hold.

This website is still in development

Because Culture Connect was funded as a pilot project:

  • the data does not yet cover all of the North East
  • the data focusses on Newcastle as a pilot city

Help us improve the website by giving your feedback.

North East Culture Connect is proud to share the results of our research into culture data with Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture.
