Celebrating sport and art
Bupa Great North Run Culture is over for this year - and what a year it’s been...
We want to say a huge thanks to the 101,500 of you took part – whether it was to see an exhibition, take part in a workshop, listen to an artist talk, come to an event or read Kate Fox’s fabulous poetry - or the 2 million of you who watched us on BBC ONE! - thank you all.
If you missed something, or want to take another look at your favourite bits of this year’s programme, you can watch our videos from David Blandy's Run A Mile in My Shoes and Cerith Wyn Evans' Permit Yourself... exhibitions. And don't forget you can sign up to our e-newsletter, follow us on Twitter @GNRCulture and join our Facebook group to be the first to get the latest updates and news on next year's programme.
Finally, we’re very grateful to our funders, Arts Council England, Bupa Great North Run and the Barbour Foundation, and to all the partners, volunteers and venues we work with every year who make Bupa Great North Run Culture possible.
See you next year!
