Newport's Quay Arts Centre is reaching out for community support in an urgent restoration appeal to preserve its historic home.
Known for its welcoming atmosphere, creative programming, and role as a community meeting point, Quay Arts has become a hub of arts and culture on the Isle of Wight.
The Grade II listed building, a former 19th-century brewery, is steeped in Newport’s history and represents the island’s commitment to heritage and community.
However, essential repairs are urgently needed to ensure Quay Arts’ future, with restoration costs projected to exceed £90,000.
This funding will safeguard the building’s historical integrity and maintain a safe, inclusive, and accessible space for all.
How You Can Help
The community and supporters are being invited to get involved.
Whether by raising awareness, making a financial contribution, or sharing this appeal, your support will ensure the restoration efforts succeed.
By preserving Quay Arts, you are also securing a future of creative opportunities for all who enter its doors.
A Phased Restoration Approach
Phase 1: £15,000 Target
The first phase of the restoration is focused on repointing the river-facing wall, which has been affected by the elements and the tidal estuary over the years.
Specialist tradespeople will carefully repair this wall to align with the building’s historical character, preserving its structure for generations to come.
Without these urgent repairs, further damage could force the centre to close.
