ArtyParti proudly celebrates artists and creatives.
Since we first launched as a radio show in 2015, on the community radio station Spark in Sunderland (107fm), we have broadcast over 200 programmes.
Now, ArtyParti continues as a podcast - join us twice every month as we bring artists and creatives together to share about their projects & passions, promote events and exhibitions, and offer insight and advice for those who are emerging.

Show & Tell #2
Calling all artists & creatives in & around Sunderland!
We're hosting a live podcast recording, and we'd love for you to join us.
The recording will be themed like a 'Show and Tell' event, where you are invited to "step up to the microphone" and share more about your most recent projects / artworks.
Building on the success of our previous live-recorded podcast episodes, we want to keep developing a space where artists feel in safe company to share their work, and receive creative critique from other artists. A place to come together with other creatives for conversation, and to celebrate our practice.
Events
ArtyParti’s series of “Celebration” events were made possible thanks to funding from the Arts Council England, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, through the “Unlock” strand of Sunderland Culture’s Great Place scheme.
Sunderland was one of 16 pilot areas of the UK to benefit from the “Great Place Scheme” - which existed “to put arts, culture and heritage at the heart of communities”. Supporting ArtyParti is one way that Sunderland Culture fulfilled this initiative - and we are hugely grateful to their backing and support.
