Listed Gateshead church to house art businesses
A Grade II-listed church in Gateshead is to be transformed into a new home for arts-based businesses by Mushroom Works Community Interest Company (MWCIC).
Brighton Road United Reformed Church in Bensham will house 12 workspaces, as well as communal areas and will provide permanent facilities for local creative workers. More than £225,000 of European Regional Development Fund investment through One North East will help revamp the church building.
Match funding will come from the Arts Council and the local authority.
