Window Works

Mantle Arts and North West Leicestershire District Council wish to appoint a number of artists, to create work to transform empty shops in the town centre of Coalville, N.W. Leicestershire. Each artwork will completely fill the window of a shop, creating a spectacular exhibition of contemporary art.

Download the complete brief below with details of how to submit a proposal (.doc, .pdf or .txt format). Closing date for proposals is January 11th.

Shop No 1!
The first shop has been secured for the project by the District Council. I've posted two images below. The two windows are roughly 5'6" wide and there's a smaller side window as well which you can use or not depending on your design. The general state of the interior is poor. Its been gutted and taken back to bare brick. This means that any work with apprentice artists will probably have to take place off site. Mantle's workshop is very close or there may be other sites we could use. We are checking to see if there is power and water.
