Our new Newcastle 'Guerilla Art Gallery'

So here it is our new business premises and gallery space for the next 10 years... "The Tower". We have the whole south side of the Uptin House building which screams history starting off as a boarding school in the 1930's, followed by a bicycle factory, paint testing labs and eventually becoming a recording studio and band practice rooms which it remained for over 20 years.

One of the inital features of the premises which first attracted us is the extremely prominemnt tower/castle top room (formerly the head master office). This space we have retained as premisis for the 'Guerilla Art Gallery'. Lots of natural light piles in through our freshly double glazed windows, however the room retains a certain gothic resonance with some fantastic original stonework and a tall 13ft ceiling.

As the building is 4 stories high and far to large for only us we have rented a number of rooms out for artists studios and workshops alike. We have taken the top castle room and also the back yard for our gallery space.

The gallery is a perfectly sized and tranquil space that over looks a soon to be developed piece of wasteland that seems to have been adopted by the local skate and bmx community. The peace and quiet is regularly disrupted by the roar of the east coast main-line and the metro trains passing by. One of the three nearby bridges is the Byker bridge that splits newcastle east and west. With all the East coast trains, metro trains and busses passing our building every day it gives us a perfect platform for becoming the most prominent creative space in the region.

We have been painting and refurbishing the premisses for around 6 months now and have nearly completed work in the gallery space. I have been working closely with the previous gallery manager on our new website and hope to have it back in action very soon. Keep an eye out for updates on our twitter, flickr and facebook. Hope to see you soon!

Robert -Gallery Manager.

Guerilla Art Gallery - CLOSED for refurbishment

Over the last 6 years we have seen some big ups and some big downs in the urban and graffiti art world. We have watched galleries and artists come and go. We have see graffiti artists hit front page headlines in newspapers and hitting colossal prices in the worlds auctions houses. We have seen artists such as Banksy get almost celebrity status. But we are finding our self asking our what good has come out of all of this?

We are seeing some terrible things coming from the larger galleries and artists. Dummy (fake) bidding on auction website and houses used too up hold fake and artificial market prices of artworks. We have see very heavily political artists
turn in to pussy cats once applied with a little bit of money. Not doing anything with there new found tabloid loving power.

With in the next 8 weeks we are going to be launching a new "Guerilla Art Gallery" website. We hope we can continue to up hold or market share in the urban art world while sticking to a building upon our moral values.
