Welcome to F6.Studios
This is what we got...........an old call centre
F6. Studios is a Community Interest Company. The company was established to design and manage a project that would make good use of
the Rear of the 6th Floor of Commercial Union House. White Box Projects has signed a master lease
with the owners of CU House, covering 5 floors of space, and the White Box
vision is to transform the building into city centre creative hub with a range
of diverse organisations and creative practices using space to develop their
work.
we aim to;
·
Provide affordable space for emerging artists in the
wider community.
·
Provide information and support to individuals
needing to access art services.
·
Advance education by providing access to mentoring
by resident artists.
·
We recognise that, for many design
artists, accessing a support network is difficult. F6.Studios proposes to use the rear of Floor
6 as a Resource Centre with a range of spaces serving a variety of needs. There’ll be individual self contained making
spaces, a common use space with shared equipment, and we are working in
partnership with the Front of Floor 6, (which is the home of the Newcastle
Performance Collective), to develop a front-of-building shared hub area with
hot desk facilities.
As important to F6.Studios as providing
affordable making space is the opportunity for design artists to collaborate,
network and access advice. F6.Studios
will work with partner organisations throughout Commercial Union House to
develop these opportunities, as well as collaborating to organise exhibitions,
selling events and networking.
