The Dead Dog Gallery is set to open its latest exhibition to the public, paying tribute to celebrated artists, Norman Cornish and LS Lowry.
Every Thursday and Friday until July 19, visitors can explore this profound homage to two iconic painters which showcases the collaborative efforts of young artists across County Durham.
The exhibit finds inspiration in Cornish and Lowry’s renowned depictions of people, places, and landmarks from the North East and North West of England, reflecting universal themes of human connection, a sense of place, and belonging.
