The empty shop before...
...and after with finished art exhibition
My contribution
The art in empty shops scheme continues with fresh new work by Di Shepherd at 44 Sadler Gate. I visited her a few weeks before her final exhibition and on the last day 21, August 2010.
The shop looked scarily huge, I would have been scared to take it on (especially as I am thinking of working in miniature!), but Di seemed unphased.
The final exhibition was fantastic. Along one wall she had depicted the journey to her studio in scenes of charcoal, on the other wall she invited others to make drawings based on photographs.
The end result was fun, collaborative and very successful. A good time was had by all (I even managed to draw a few cats). Looking forward to more exhibitions to come. This recession has its good sides after all.
