A First-of-its-Kind Collaboration in the Heart of Newcastle at Hancock Gallery

Hancock Gallery, based a short walk from Haymarket, is collaborating with renowned artists, Mul and PREFAB77 to produce an exhibition which will be the first of its kind for the two artists launching Thursday the 10th of October. 

As part of the exhibition, both artists for the first time will be showing their work in a contemporary gallery space, and fans will also be in with a chance to win a unique collaborative piece of art made especially for this exhibition, with plenty more surprises on the night.

Mul and PREFAB77’s work is recognisable across the city, with Mul’s running heart motif a staple along the Quayside, and PREFAB77’s vibrant collage mural a stand out on newly revamped Ridley Place. The pair are now expanding their reach and travelling across the UK and even into Europe (Stavanger, Rotterdam) to create more of their iconic street art. 

Artist PREFAB77 a.k.a. Peter Manning, said "Mul and I have collaborated on several projects across Newcastle City Centre, and we were seeking a new setting to create something fresh. After meeting the team at Hancock Gallery, it felt like the perfect place for us to do something in a formal gallery setting while still keeping it fun."

As part of the exhibition, Mul and PREFAB77 will also be hosting a drop in ‘Meet the Artists’ session in the gallery on Saturday the 12th of October where they will be available to chat more about the work. 

Chris Morgan, Gallery Manager, said “Working with Mul and PREFAB77 has been a really exciting journey. As a contemporary gallery, our collaboration with these two remarkable street artists has transformed our space into a vibrant canvas of urban expression.

“This exhibition is a must-see. It’s a unique fusion of Georgian architecture and street art, and a celebration of the vibrant culture that shapes our city – you don’t want to miss it!”
