Enchanted Parks, December 2008
Winner: The Best Tyneside Event 2008
The Journal Culture Awards
Using the award wining Saltwell Park, Gateshead, Magnetic Events commissioned North East, UK and international artists to create a series of site-specific artworks using many different art forms to produce a dramatic Winter Festival art trail.
As part of Enchanted Parks there was also a unique installation by international artist Yoko Ono entitled ‘Wish Trees for Gateshead’ which was presented in partnership with Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts. Enchanted Parks was a free ticketed event, which 'sold out' prior to opening and had 10,000 visitors.
Nominated by popular acclaim for 'Best Tyneside Event 2008' at The Journal Culture Awards 2008, Enchanted Parks was successful in winning the 2008 Award which was collected by Gateshead Council and Magnetic Events.
