East Quay is a project of perseverance and dedication, reinvigorating the local community and initiating the ongoing regeneration of the coastal town of Watchet in West Somerset. A combination of gallery, workshops, and community centre, it is the vision of the local, female-led, not-for-profit company Onion Collective, and has been financed by community fundraising. It is located on an abandoned boatyard annexed from the town, and is deliberately orientated towards the town, giving a sense that it is wrapping its arms around it in a warm embrace. From a distance as you approach Watchet, your eye is inexplicably drawn to the amalgamation of somewhat idiosyncratic building volumes that poke their heads above the harbour resplendent in seaside stripes.聽聽
