Would it be possible to use the empty shop fronts on London Road to display local artists work?
This could benefit the landlords by improving the appearance of the shops, yet not use floor space so that it is still in an appropriate state to rent out... This is not a new idea... http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2009/feb/18/slack-space-vacant-shops http://blog.ivanpope.com/awol/2009/02/art-into-recess.html
...could we liaise between the landlords/ their agents and local artists... this could even be through a lonely hearts/ lonely windows style website where windows are matched with artists...?
