*EXCITING NEWS*
Over the years, internationally acclaimed, Stuckist artist Paul Harvey has generously supported the Whitley Bay Film Festival, creating a number of unique paintings and exhibits specifically themed around film festival events.
In homage to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Paul’s latest piece, this wonderful painting of ‘Dr Frank-N-Furter’ was on view throughout the festival at all events!
Raffle tickets for this painting raised funds for the film festival and the draw took place on the 3rd October 2025.
The winning ticket strip was Blue 286 - 290.
Congratulations M Gardner!
Very special thanks to Paul Harvey.
