Standing on Newport Street, the Newport Street Gallery is a stunning example of how to blend the old and the new. The building is a former theatre carpentry and scenery production workshop, dating back to 1913. It was designed by John Woodward, the London County Council’s district surveyor for the area. It is Grade II listed. The gallery was opened to the public in 2015 by the famous British artist, Damien Hirst. Hirst wanted to share his art collection with the public and so he converted his old studio into a beautiful gallery. The gallery is full of amazing and thought-provoking artwork. Hirst’s collection is a mix of different styles and eras. You might find some modern art, maybe sculptures, photography, even installations. The gallery is also a great place to see up and coming artists. The Newport Street Gallery Artist Award is given every year to emerging talent, giving them a chance to reach a larger audience. The gallery features a bookstore too, and a sleek rooftop restaurant. The bookstore has a wide selection of art books and prints. The restaurant offers a unique dining experience, with panoramic views of the city of London. So, do not just walk by on Newport Street, step inside and be amazed by this incredible gallery.
