Student artists have become the first to exhibit their work at a new gallery in the centre of a city’s redevelopment.
The Maker Meanwhile Gallery has opened in the new Riverside Maker Building, within Sunderland’s Riverside regeneration area.
Its inaugural exhibition, Emerging, showcases work from University of Sunderland’s recent Fine Art graduates and postgraduates, who have described it as a “fantastic opportunity”.
The building on Plater Way is part of the new Maker & Faber development in the city, which was completed in March.
