Statement of Intent for the Plusminus Group.

We are plusminus; a group of North East artists working to develop the North East visual arts scene. We believe Newcastle's arts need an innovative catalyst to create a cultural centre to rival other UK cities. Through members of the group and our contacts we will become linked to cities and artists groups all over the world, we will use these contacts to bring diversity and new interests to benefit the Newcastle scene.

The first action of plusminus is to produce and artist led and curated exhibition, showcasing the work of the core members of plus.minus and some of our contacts in London. We are not interested in creating a one off phenomena, or generating a tourist attraction, we aim for a vital, and valued, respectable event to benefit the arts community. The first of many.
