The Workspace is our largest room, situated on the first floor of Empty Shop HQ. This room serves the function of being our main exhibition space during the handful of shows we have each year but the rest of the time it is a usable resource for the community. That means for the majority of the year it can be hired out for a variety of uses, these could include:

  • A space to create work
  • A venue for classes and workshops
  • Somewhere to try out work in an exhibition environment
  • A space to build large scale sculpture
  • A venue for theatrical rehearsals and small private performances

These are just a few examples of the creative ways our workspace could be put to use by you.

*Please note however this workspace can not be used for public exhibitions

The room is approximately 15ft wide x 28ft long with two large bay window areas and beautiful 10ft high ceilings.
