Colour Collective UK is an initiative established in January 2018 in Newcastle as an independent, non-profit organisation to form an exciting, forward-thinking group interested in disseminating all aspects of colour education and research.
Our group is particularly interested in creating cross-disciplinary events which illustrate the magic of colour in all its breadth. With the support of both Newcastle University and Northumbria University, Colour Collective UK is set to evolve into a forum for anyone interested in colour, from its perception to its application. We run on donations and sponsorship, allowing free access to all events. All events are tailored to the general public, so no prior background knowledge is required.
“Colour is truly fluid: it spills over subjects and seeps between disciplines; and no one area can mop it up and claim a privileged or proprietorial relationship with the subject.”
Batchelor, 2008

As a non-profit organisation we rely on our community to help fund our events so that we are able to provide activities for our members free of charge. We are fortunate enough to be sponsored by the following bodies:
