A collective of young Brighton urban artists (spraypaint, stencils) are looking for shopfront windows to paint during the May festival. They are looking for a space such as a retail shop or ground/mezzanine floor area frequented by tourists and the curious and is accessible by public transport. To date, they have 12 confirmed artists, with another handful in the wings waiting for confirmation. They’d like to paint the shopfront windows with temporary paint and maybe hang work on walls inside. These will then be painted over at the expiration of the term – amounting to a free makeover if the walls are already shabby!

If the landlord is agreeable, they would like to decorate the walls with ‘alfresco’ painting prior to their restoration of them. If direct painting is disagreeable with the landlord, then they would use temporary 8×4′ panel boards and/or paper. As they are limited in funds, they would also be amicable to a reciprocal agreement where tenancy was exchanged (in part) for practical/ improvement works on the premises to a professional standard. They are experienced in decoration and very practical fellows besides! See the work on show at the Mad Hatter Cafe in Western Road 5-18 February.
