Amber relies on donations from people like you now more than ever.
Amber Film & Photography Collective has been documenting working class and marginalised lives and landscapes in the North East since 1968. Amber has commissioned and collected work since 1977 when it opened Side Gallery.
In 2011, Amber’s films and the photographs of collective member Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen were inscribed in UNESCO UK’s Memory of the World register.
Donations to the Amberside Trust look after:
- Operating our Side Gallery and Side Cinema
- Preserving our incredible archive of over 20,000 photographs, 100 films, 10,000 slides
- Commissioning brand new work
- Education Programmes for Children and Young People
