​
THEY BELIEVE IN WELCOMING SPACES (FOR PEOPLE AND DOGS!). KNOWLEDGEABLE, FRIENDLY AND APPROACHABLE STAFF. BACKGROUND MUSIC AND CHATTING WITH FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS. INDEPENDENT BREWERIES, BEER THAT'S BEEN LOOKED AFTER AND HAVING A NICE PLACE TO DRINK IT.

COLLABORATION:

​LAUREN AND LEE, THE LOVELY OWNERS OF THE BEER SHOP, ARE SUPPORTERS OF THE ARTS AND HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED A CURATED WALL SPACE FOR ARTIST MURALS IN THEIR EXISTING  BUSINESS 'THE BEER SHOP LONDON'. I WAS DELIGHTED WHEN THEY ASKED ME TO TAKE ON A WALL SPACE IN THEIR NEW VENTURE 'THE BEER SHOP, FOLKESTONE'.

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE SPACE FOR A SUBSTANTIAL PERIOD OF TIME WITH THE FLEXIBILITY TO CHANGE UP THE WORK AS AND WHEN I WOULD LIKE TO. 

HAVING CHOSEN EXISTING WORK TO DISPLAY FOR THE OPENING, I WILL NOW BE DEVELOPING SOME SITE SPECIFIC WORK FOR THE SPACE.

A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ALONGSIDE A NEW HUB FOR OUR LOCAL CREATIVE COMMUNITY WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER.
