On the New Adventures Tour you’ll discover young, independent local fashion designers; contemporary jewellery design; a vintage photobooth and lo-fi photography gallery; Roller Derby sticker design; delicate papercut illustration; millinery; and fantasy clock sculptures which have to be seen to be believed.
Renew Newcastle has recently supported six new local creative projects to open up and activate shops around the Hunter Street Mall area. We’d like to introduce you to the artists and designers who are enlivening the city centre and making Newcastle’s revitalization their business.
