UP FOR ARTS at Newcastle Mela
 Turn up on Sunday 26 August 2007 at the Newcastle Mela, Exhibition Park, Claremont Road, to try out an exciting range of arts & crafts workshops and activities.
You will also have a chance to speak with the UP FOR ARTS team from the Community Channel to find out more about getting involved in voluntary arts and crafts, signing up and available opportunities in the region.
The Mela is a free event, based around Punjabi, Pakistani, Bengali and Hindi cultures and is open to anyone who wants to learn more, be entertained and meet new people as well as enjoy different music, food, voluntary arts and crafts in the heart of Newcastle. With a line up including the hottest contemporary Asian acts as well as traditional displays of music and dance it's an event likely to appeal to all ages and backgrounds.
Taking place in Exhibition Park, the Mela promises to be weekend full of fun with music, games, stalls and exhibitions to help everyone have a bank holiday to remember. With a stage playing host to musicians and dancers, hundreds of stalls selling arts and crafts and food and drink and a children's programme to help the kids learn, make friends and have fun; there's plenty to do whatever your tastes.
Newcastle Mela is organised by Newcastle Asian Arts and Music, a voluntary organisation formed in April 1993. Its main aim is to promote Asian arts, music and culture within Newcastle and the North East region. Newcastle City Council and UNISON support Newcastle Mela 2007.
