Studio Artists visit their future studios!

Many of Waygood’s Studio Artists visited the new venue last week to see the transformation of the building and identify their individual studios. All stated how much they were looking forward to ‘being part of the city again.’

The Studio Artists said that they will appreciate the more convenient location, feeling safer leaving at night, better security and the wider creative facilities when they move to their studios in the new venue.

Glass put into place on Waygood.

The new glass panels on the stairwell have now been installed from top to bottom of the East elevation of the building, along with the external glass on the top floor viewing box, which will allow views over the city.

The Turning Point network of people from across visual arts strategy groups meet this week in the North East for their National Summit. Delegates will be invited on a special hard-hat tour of Waygood’s High Bridge site to see its progress into a major city centre cultural venue for visual arts.
