'Gadgie' artist: Now's the right time to close gallery
The Journal
|July 23, 2025
A NEWCASTLE city centre gallery has closed its doors as the artist behind the business says it was “one of the hardest decisions [he’s] ever made”.
Alexander Millar, best known for creating the iconic ‘Gadgie’ officially closed the doors of his Grey Street gallery for the final time.
As the lease on the business came to an end on July 19, Alexander explained that saying goodbye to the gallery was “like letting go of an old friend”.
But he also described how the timing felt right as the daily demands of client commissions and running two galleries - in Newcastle and Glasgow - made him realise that it was time to “take it a little more easy”.
While the closure is bittersweet, Alexander is looking forward to focusing on the things he loves most: painting, travelling, and enjoying a more flexible lifestyle.
