Art Station

We propose for the re-use of Newcastle Railway station into a vibrant contemporary art space with a programme of events for the community and tourists.

@AlanKohler Thank you Alan, it’s our new obsession now trying to read all the book titles while listening to you . Our eleven year old gets up close to the tv

@AlanKohler Our household love looking at the book stack every night on the abc news. Book club?

@RosemarieMilsom will be interviewing us about our goals for #newcastle #trainstation on @1233newcastle - TUNE IN NOW #activation #community

@TDallessio @NextCityOrg @Nuatali_Nelmes Thank you for shining the light on Newcastle. We hope we can make Newcastle train station an entrepreneurial, creative catalyst creating a cultural impact through complimentary cultural and commercial activities.

@mjendacott @eamonnlousey Ironically Newcastle has lost/losing a couple of the best live music venues because of redevelopments. And also lost council funded art centre. We hope we can turn that around

[Art Station @newartstation]

@mjendacott gathered that 👍just clarifying boundaries. Foreshore park on their visit wasn't exactly a fair viewing showing community use.

[Art Station @newartstation]

@mjendacott it's amazing how if that was revitalised how the community spirit would lift. Community needs that grand gesture 👍

[Art Station @newartstation]

@mjendacott they mean the mall, right? Because that's now being called East End?

@eamonnlousey thank you for the interest and sharp insight. #thatsthedream #grassroots #community #organisation #inclusion

[lousey @eamonnlousey]

@newartstation Look forward to keeping an eye on Newcastle over the next few years to ensure it is smart, equitable growth so the existing community aren't priced out.

[Art Station @newartstation]

@eamonnlousey Ooh we are trying! It would have been great to be included in this conference

@TDallessio @NextCityOrg The hard part for locals is being heard, and breaking down the barriers of communication between government and the creative makers and shakers

[Tom Dallessio @TDallessio]

@NextCityOrg Asking provocative questions, @NextCityOrg #VanguardOZ reminds Newcastle that it isn’t success if it isn’t inclusive.

@Nuatali_Nelmes @NextCityOrg I think you will find most of the community are asking for it, would be nice if the barriers for inclusion were removed.

[Art Station @newartstation]

@Nuatali_Nelmes @NextCityOrg It was heartening to witness the 3 proposals for the station last night all aligned with what we have been proposing for the last three years. It was great to see our ideas are supported and replicated by the #vanguardOz

[Art Station @newartstation]

So we are here. Can’t wait to hear the ideas for the post office and train station #vanguardOz

[Art Station @newartstation]

@ADIE_ML @NextCity So very true. And in recent times so many of our murals have been painted over or are so old and faded they should be. Tired city ripe for renewal!
