A working artist in your shop for three hours

Not a stall. Not a workshop you have to run. One person making art in public, in a corner you'd otherwise be walking past.

You provide

  • A corner — roughly a table's worth of floor.
  • A plug socket.
  • Three hours of your normal opening.

That is the whole list.

We bring

  • An artist matched to what your shop sells.
  • All their own kit — table, chair, screen, cables, everything.
  • A written brief agreed with you before the day.

You carry on trading.

What it costs you

Nothing, while we're getting started in Nottingham. The artist sells or takes commissions on their own work. How that runs alongside your till is your call, and we agree it in writing when we book.

The boring bits, handled

Insured

Public liability cover is in place for every session. We'll send you the certificate before the day.

Checked

DBS checks where your shop needs them, and named contacts on both sides.

Briefed

Hours, footprint, fire exits, safeguarding and what happens if it gets busy — agreed in writing.

No commitment. We'll come and look at the spot, and tell you honestly if we don't think it'll work.
