There will be an art gallery, 'affordable' creative studios and public spaces
A derelict Georgian building in Northampton will undergo a £4.7 million renovation. NN Contemporary Art, in partnership with West Northamptonshire Council, has revealed a plan for a major new cultural centre at 24 Guildhall Road. In the heart of Northampton’s cultural quarter, the £4.7 million project is about to enter its second stage of works and will see the five-storey building transformed.
They will take over the lower three floors, opening a free public gallery space that will showcase the very best of international contemporary art. With a focus on nurturing the town’s creative ecosystem, the floors will also encompass 20 affordable creative workspaces and studios, enabling hundreds of artists and creators to grow and develop their practice in the town.
Designed to become a major creative hub for Northampton and the wider East Midlands region, the fully-accessible building will also incorporate multi-functional "community and event" spaces - including a civic reading room and arts library, a retail space and multimedia lab. "Working alongside partners we aim to bring a new kind of cultural institution to Northamptonshire. Our approach throughout has tried to expand the terms of collaboration as integral to the design of the 21st-century public realm.
