Go beyond 

the gallery

We connect artists with unexpected spaces, and match non-traditional venues with exciting art exhibitions, across the UK.

Let your square footage become cool footfall

If you have active stewardship of a void property or a unit with dead space, we will help find you the perfect cultural activation to turn a liability into an asset. It will yield footfall, increase dwell time and provide incredible organic content for your social media channels.

“Venue hunting for an exhibition in a new city is very difficult. Footfall Space made it the easiest part of the whole process — sorted us out in Liverpool and Sheffield without the usual headaches.”

— Jon Link, Modern Toss co-founder and creator

Creators Jon Link and Mick Bunnage asked Footfall Space to advise on other potential UK locations and scout out possible venues.

“I knew early on that I didn’t just want the standard gallery thing for my portraits. Footfall Space got that immediately, and knocked me out with their response. ”

While Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester hosted the main exhibition, we created and promoted a trail to take Steve’s art to a different audience by displaying ten of his remarkable photographs in a variety of vibrant shops, bars and eateries.
