Help us make Culture House Sunderland a place where something surprising happens every single day 💫
When we open this September, Culture House will host 100 creative ‘surprises’ across 100 consecutive days – each taking place at 2pm, lasting at least 40 minutes, and open to everyone.
We’re commissioning up to 100 contributors, and we’re welcoming proposals from:
• Amateur groups
• Community organisations
• Hobbyists and enthusiasts
• First time creatives
• Local residents
• Schools, colleges, or informal collectives
• As well as professional artists and practitioners
Each selected surprise will receive a £150 fee (inclusive of all costs).
If you’ve got an idea that could bring a moment of discovery, delight or connection to the building, we’d love to hear from you.
