Exhibitions at Newport Street will vary between single artist and group shows and entry to the gallery will be free. Spanning five buildings, Newport Street has been under construction for over three years.
first ever show to focus on the portraits by Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes, Spain’s leading artist in the late eighteenth century and one of the most psychologically revealing painters of all time, is set to be a highlight of autumn 2015.
