How does it work?
​
From our substantial database of professional artists across the UK, we are uniquely placed to quickly locate and place a local artist in your empty retail space, creating an immediate visual impact for your property and the wider shopping area.
Our service is free, there is no cost to you. We only charge a percentage fee based on the benefits we deliver. This means there is a zero cost, zero hassle set-up for a landlord to quickly fill their empty retail space.
Empty properties are a burden. There are rates to pay, ongoing utilities costs, security and insurance costs to cover. We can help minimise your liabilities whilst delivering a number of broader benefits from hosting an Artists Window to your property or estate. 
Regenerate your property's appeal
Your empty retail space can ‘lower the tone’ of your locality and that of the wider area. Our initiative can improve the overall appearance of your property, regenerate its perceived value and maximise your chances of finding new tenants.
It can also improve the identity of its setting, and the feel of the your wider estate or local shopping area. Existing solutions (such as box storage) simply cannot match the powerful benefits that The Artist's Window provides.
Maintain rent levels and investment values
If you own multiple properties in one location the whole estate could be impacted by empty retail property, receding rental tone which in turn knocks-on to decrease overall investment value and return.
Our solution encourages increased footfall thereby supporting other businesses across your estate. This protects your overall investment value and rent income levels.
Securing future success
The Artist’s Window initiative will assist in forming part of an enhanced retail experience. It’s likely that the most successful retail sites of the future will be those where there is an interesting mix of leisure, bars, stores and experiences to attract all types of consumer. 
 
Let the presence of our artists enhance and regenerate the appeal of your properties, support the locality, uplift your retail estate and benefit the high street.
"We've worked with The Artist's Window across several empty retail spaces in our portfolio. We use them because they provide a reliable, hassle free service working with our local community."

Why The Artist's Window, and Why Now?
​
There has been an exponential rise in vacant, empty and boarded up retail space on our highstreets and within our shopping centres. Landlords and communities alike are suffering from this decline.
 
Vacant property is costly not only for landlords but also for local communities and wider society. It can dramatically degrade the character of a location, attracting vandalism and increased anti-social behaviour which can result in property owners footing increased repair and maintenance bills.
 
Empty shops are a visible casualty of the explosion of online shopping, the lasting effects of the pandemic and the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on spending habits.
