Side Gallery


Side Gallery is dedicated to showing the best in humanist documentary photography.
Side Gallery is a small but perfectly formed exhibition space tucked away on the Newcastle Quayside who passionately promote rich, powerful and challenging work which is engaged with people’s lives and landscapes. The gallery aims to tell stories that often get marginalised, whether they are from the North East of England or anywhere else in the world.
The 1979 ‘Quayside’ exhibition – by photographers Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen and Graham Smith – kicked off a successful campaign against council plans to demolish the Newcastle Quayside, east of the Tyne Bridge.
