Empty Shop—Durham, UK

“Empty Shop is the North East’s newest contemporary arts group, dedicated to giving artists in the region a much needed platform to produce and exhibit their work. They take on unused buildings in the region and turn them into usable art spaces.”

Program Features:

  • Nonprofit
  • Occupies an empty building
  • Charges a low daily fee to arts users to use space for projects
  • “Providing we can physically accommodate your idea (and we’ll give it a good go) and the space hasn’t already been booked, you can pretty much do it.”
