The Biscuit Factory, Contemporary art gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
The Biscuit Factory is a contemporary art gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne spread across multiple levels with dedicated display areas. It showcases work from over 250 artists working in painting, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, and glass across its exhibition spaces.
