Quay Arts Centre launches Crowdfunder appeal for restoration support [Video]

Quay Arts Centre has launched a Crowdfunder campaign to raise funds for a vital restoration project.

Quay Arts is an essential part of the Isle of Wight community. The charity has provided enriching creative experiences for nearly five decades, operating from a converted Grade II listed building.

The centre, situated at the head of the River Medina, is housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century brewery warehouse. This heritage-rich site has become a vibrant cultural hub, holding a special place in the history of Newport and the wider community.

Urgency of restorationHowever, Quay Arts now faces a critical challenge. To continue its operations and maintain the centre as a safe and welcoming space, urgent restoration work is required. This work comes at an estimated cost of over £90,000.

Maintaining and restoring the historic Grade II listed building is crucial. It is not only about preserving the structure’s historical importance, but also ensuring that it remains an operational and inviting space for all.
