Quay Arts
Quay Arts is the leading Arts Centre on the Isle of Wight, supporting the delivery of arts and cultural activities to our local community.
Quay Arts is a registered arts charity situated within a grade II listed ex-brewery warehouse originally built in the 1870's on the banks of the River Medina, and is the leading Arts Centre on the Isle of Wight. Quay Arts supports the development and display of new work by contemporary visual artists.
The West Gallery was designed by award-winning architect Tony Fretton (Camden Arts Centre, Lisson Gallery, ArtSway) and presents work of national and international interest. It has hosted eclectic exhibitions including solo shows by Andy Goldsworthy, Kurt Jackson, Martin Creed, Vija Celmins and Richard Long.
Our programme includes admission-free exhibitions, courses & workshops, live events, and more. Our second building Jubilee Stores hosts artists' studios, a pottery studio, and a workshop space.
As a registered charity, every penny we raise is reinvested into our artistic programmes, exhibitions, events and facilities, supporting the delivery of arts and cultural activities to our local community.
The Quay Arts Centre is open daily 9am - 4pm, please check our website for further details.

Accessibility
During our daytime open hours 9am - 4pm, Quay Arts can be accessed via our Shop at the front of the building on Sea Street. Wheelchair users may find the Cafe Terrace entrance on Little London Street easier for them to use due to the small pavement size and slight step into the building at the front. After 4pm, all access to the building is via the Cafe Terrace entrance at the side of the building on Little London Street.
We have disabled toilets on both floors.
By the ground floor stairs, we have a lift to the first floor landing, providing access to the upstairs galleries and Minghella Theatre.
There are two car parks located on either side of the arts centre.
