As many of you may know from past blog posts we’ve been looking for some help for a little while. The search was initially only for one role; a company administrator. However, after a series of eclectic interviews, where we met a whole bunch of interesting individuals, we decided to bring in not one but three people to help Empty Shop. The new faces are Faye Mulligan, Jonny Atkinson and Linda Mutunga.

Faye
Faye Mulligan is going to be doing our general admin. She will offer vital support making sure everything runs like clockwork. Faye will be helping with the day to day ins and outs at Empty Shop such as taking workspace bookings and responding to any  of your lovely emails. She will  also be the friendly voice down the phone at Empty Shop HQ, so if your looking to find out more about Venue hire, events coming up – or if you have any question about Empty Shop please feel free to contact Faye on thefolks@emptyshop.org.

Jonny
Also new to the team is Jonny Atkinson. His role is to handle our exhibitions, searching the land for the best artists and helping all of you realise all of the opportunities we offer. Jonny’s currently seeking new innovative art that can be showcased in new and old spaces within Empty Shop such as the Stairwell Gallery exhibition programme and more to be announced soon. He will also be working online, exhibiting new video art on the empty shop website every month. If you would like further information, fancy submitting a video or think you may have something special that Empty Shop will love.

Please contact Jonny on exhibitions@emptyshop.org

Linda
As the third new member of the Empty Shop crew Linda is going to be heading up some of our communications stuff. She’ll be responsible for keeping everyone updated on the ins and outs at Empty Shop including looking after our online social networks such as facebook and twitter and composing newsletters like this one, so next time you hear from us it’ll be Linda’s words you’ll be reading…
