Come and Check out ‘Blue Boy’
By Tracey Taylor and grab some delicious Korean street food from Sukimama.

13th March to 29th March 2026
Gallery Open 9am-2:00pm Fri-Sat-Sun

Meet Blue Boy.
He was born. He was blue. They called him a God.
Blue Boy is Tracey Taylor’s bold new exhibition—an emotionally charged visual story about belief, power, and what happens when a man begins to believe his own myth. Through striking paintings, Taylor explores celebrity, faith, and the narratives that shape our idea of truth.

THE SPACE (WHY IT’S SPECIAL)
Raw. Industrial. Light-filled.

The Showroom—once the original R.J. Owens grocery warehouse—is now one of the few spaces in Newcastle capable of exhibiting large-format works.

✔️ High ceilings
✔️ White walls
✔️ Flexible gallery hanging system
✔️ Professional lighting
✔️ Weekday + evening audiences

It’s why so many artists choose to exhibit here—and why our 2026 season is shaping up to be something special.

Follow along as these walls transform again and again throughout the year.
