History of the gallery: On 8th December 2021 we opened our first PopUp gallery in Uxbridge Pavilions shopping centre, 14-16 Pantile Walk, on the corner of Pantile Walk and Market Square, near to Wilkos. It was once a bank, so it was very spacious, and had the advantage of floor to ceiling windows along two sides.

We were there until 31 March 2022.

From 1st April to the end of June 2022, you could find us in another premises within the Pavilions – 1-3 Mercer Walk, next to The Works (Mercer Walk is the aisle between Primark and the back exit of M&S).

From 1st July to the end of September 2022, we were back in our original premises at 14-16 Pantile Walk.

We then moved to 14-16 Market Square, next to Savers, from October to December 2022, and in January 2023, back to 14-16 Pantile Walk, till 31st March.

ALSO from 11th November to 31st January we were in a much larger gallery at 111-112 Lower Mall, the Chimes, next to HMV.

From 1st April 2023 till 10th September 2023 we were in what was the Marks & Spencers cafe, directly behind Marks & Spencers, in the Pavilions, 32A Market Square.
