We will be opening our events space
Ouse Street Arts Club as ‘Ouse Street General Store’ from 11th – 20th
October as part of
Northern Design Festival, please make sure you pop by!
The corner shop, not just a place to pick up a pint of milk and The
Chronicle, but a place central to our sense of community and our
collective memory. Not just purveyors of essential provisions but a
place to bump into neighbours, to pick up gossip and central to our
sense of living somewhere.
Overshadowed by the supermarkets and seldom the first thought on a
property developer’s mind the humble corner shop’s future is far from
secure.
Ouse Street Arts Club sits at the heart of Newcastle’s Ouseburn
Valley where an industrial past sits alongside a creative present and
JCBs are preparing the ground for major residentially led regeneration
with the aim of creating a sustainable urban village.
It is in this context that
Ouse Street General Stores will open its doors for Northern Design Festival 2013.
Presenting curated shelves full of work from over 30 North East and
national designers, artists and makers Ouse Street General Stores will
be your local cultural 7-Eleven. It’s ‘Open all hours’ meets ‘Etsy’ and
you won’t go short of that pint of milk.
