The Artist’s Window initiative addresses common concerns and problems encountered by artists trying to engage with the art market and display their work.
The Artist's Window removes the financial obstacles to displaying artwork, creating opportunities for artists who might otherwise not be able to access display and exhibition space by providing space and publicity for free.
We know exhibition and display space is unaffordable and increasingly hard to find. Gallery arrangements can be inflexible and their commission prohibitively expensive. We understand affordable exhibition options such as open studios and private views can be frustratingly poorly attended. It’s hard to engage and reach a wide enough or new enough audience. Studios can be out of the way or inconvenient to get to.
Displaying your art solely on digital platforms means it can get lost in the on-line ether where it can fail to engage your local community or reach your target market.
We make your work accessible and highly visible to a wide audience by connecting you to passers-by, your local community, local businesses, local gallery owners and other local organisations. For free.
