Window Details
The exhibition area on offer consists of one main window space – to the right of the doorway, which overlooks the main thoroughfare into the City Centre. Please note that the window space to the left of the doorway is not part of the In The Window programme.
The full area of the bay window is glazed providing two large plate glass windows at the front and a narrow window of the same height on either side. The interior has a floor which is level with the bottom of the glazing, this is painted white. The back of the space is a full size pine door, which allows full access in and out of the space even when closed, via an “escape” hatch. Artists are welcome to paint, drill, or use screw fixings wherever necessary, however, the space is expected to be returned to a fit state upon de-install. The window has a single fluorescent tube light which provides lighting from above, plus additional LED spotlights. Electrical power to the space is available. It is possible to leave works requiring an electrical supply switched on throughout the day and night (respecting the manufacturers guidance for the use of the equipment). The aspect of the window is towards the south so receives full sun, a consideration if you propose to use screen-based media, or anything sensitive to heat.
