Birth of a ‘Space’

Newcastle Art Space came to fruition through the dedication of a working committee, community initiatives fund-raising activities including an art auction, with works donated by over 80 local artists, as well as developing links with Newcastle business enterprise. For example Suters Architects redesigned the former studio spaces into a professional, functional exhibition space.

Situated within the Newcastle Community Arts Centre, trading as the Newcastle Art Space, NAS represents a need in the Newcastle market for non-commercial exhibition space, in order to reach a diversity of emerging and established artists, and assist in their learning and development. The artists are not charged commission, but pay for the rental of the gallery. NAS provides professional assistance with marketing, curatorial and administrative concerns.

NAS co-ordinates and hosts the annual Newcastle Emerging Artist Prize (NEAP).
