Newport Street Gallery has been shortlisted for the Brick Legacy Award at the Brick Awards 2026. The new category celebrates projects of enduring architectural quality that have stood the test of time.
The project opened in 2016 and converted three Grade II-listed buildings originally built as West End theatre scenery-painting studios into an art gallery. Two new-build structures were added at either end of the existing buildings, to form a continuous terrace.
