Cullercoats was one of the UK’s four famous “Artists’ Colonies” in the 1880s. The most famous painter was the American, Winslow Homer who made his home here for 18 months. Homer is now recognised as one of America’s most famous painter s of people of the 19th century...Bill Gates bought one of his paintings for $30mill, a record for an American painting in 1998. Other famous artists were Jobling, Slater and Carmichael. Artists were attracted by the scenic bay, by the fisher women and men, by the unusual light and probably by the Geordie friendliness. The Cullercoats Art Trail is a fascinating walk around the bay, as the brochure portrays the best known paintings showing where in the bay they were composed.
