The Quay Arts, Art center in Newport, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom.
The Quay Arts occupies a former brewery warehouse at the head of the River Medina and houses three galleries, a theater, craft shop, and café within its walls. The building stands in a historic harbor district shaped by water and converted industrial structures.
In the mid-1970s, artists Anne and Nigel Lewington began converting the disused brewery into an arts center. The project opened in 1982 and has shaped cultural life in the city ever since.
The theater within the complex regularly hosts touring productions, art films, and comedy shows that give visitors insight into contemporary performance. The spaces also serve local artists as a platform for their own projects.
Gallery entry is free and the building has lifts and induction loops for disabled visitors. It's best to check the website for current opening hours and event schedules.
The attached craft shop displays and sells work from around sixty regional artists, including ceramics, glass, textiles, and jewelry. The range spans from affordable pieces to higher-value works, offering variety for different budgets.
