Big ideas need time, space and support to grow.

That’s why we’re excited to launch the inaugural Roost Residency: a new opportunity designed to support Newcastle-based creatives as they commence, continue or complete a meaningful creative project.

Guts Creative is a Newcastle-based brand strategy studio working from The Roost Creative — a creative coworking space in Newcastle supporting designers, strategists, artists, and independent businesses. Specialising in brand strategy, positioning, and stakeholder engagement across health, education, and environmental sectors, Guts helps organisations build strong foundations before investing in marketing or design.

Meet Me at the Baths is a brand new site-specific work presented by local powerhouse theatre company Whale Chorus. Headliner for this years New Annual Festival.

Love, Death, Fear & Techno is a spoken word poetry performance and so much more. Set in Denni’s bedroom, you’re invited to not only step into their world, but to also bring yours with you. Before the performance takes you for a ride, you are encouraged to create and hang some art on their bedroom walls as you enmesh your lives with theirs.

On Wednesday February 10, The Roost Creative recognises the ongoing hard work of administrative assistant Nicola Sciacca with a promotion to Chief Administrative Officer.

Illustrator and artist Ben Mitchell is one of our longest serving Roosters (and self-appointed Roost Legacy Officer), though it appears he’s still got plenty of ideas for how to give back to his creative community.

It was through the Newcastle freelancing space The Roost Creative that Roost president and landscape designer Mark Tisdell came up with his business name, MUD Landscape Design. He originally planned on calling it Mark Tisdell Urban Design and ran the idea by a Roost graphic designer named Mark Owens.
