Built in 1924, the building was used to store grain from a miller company in Newport, James Thomas and Co. Ltd. The lease to the building was sold in the mid 1930s which was soon taken over by the British Road Services to store various goods. By the mid 1970s the building fell into a state of disrepair before being taken over by Quay Arts to be used as a participatory arts complex.
The conversion and establishment of Jubilee Stores Studios came after Quay Arts’ successful capital grant from the Arts Council England’s National Lottery Board for £1,100,500 to redevelop the Centre in 1996.
Studio sizes at Jubilee Stores vary from 8m sq to 20m sq. Resident artist have direct access to the printmaking, jewelry and pottery facilities in the building, which are also available to hire for non resident artists and practitioners.
