From Photowalk to Gallery Walls: I Love North Shields Hosts Debut Exhibition
I Love North Shields Pop-Up Gallery Opens at the Globe Gallery North Shields, UK — I Love North Shields is proud to announce the opening of its first ever Pop-Up Gallery at the Globe Gallery, 53 Bedford Street, North Shields, NE29 0AT. The exhibition launches with an opening night on Wednesday 24 September 2025, showcasing photography created during the community’s very first #ILNSPhotowalkOne. Earlier this summer, around 30 people gathered at the Fish Quay — strangers at first, but united by a love of photography. What followed was a spark of creativity and connection, forming a new community that has since grown into something lasting. From those beginnings, the group successfully applied for funding through the North Shields 800 Community Grants Scheme, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. A £1,000 award allowed I Love North Shields to stage its debut exhibition.
