BareWindow EXHIBITIONS at Barewall
In 2009 Barewall at its current location in Burslem converted what was an empty shop front into an art space by converting the window space into a white box and handing over the space to artists. This was a project which was the test bed of the current Barewall shop and gallery space. Below are the artists and themes that exhibited in the Barewindow exhibition space from 2009 until 2010. Including a link about Barewindow.
