Press release date: 13-Mar-2007

Four of North Yorkshire’s most promising emerging artists have secured a permanent ‘shop-front’ window for their work thanks to a commission by City of York Council’s Arts and Culture service. Their expert designs came to reality with the help of leading signs and graphics company Signs Express based in York.

In a project which began as solving a privacy issue for workers in the ground floor offices at York’s Mill House in North Street, the artists came up with a creative solution to a very practical problem. As Gill Cooper, Head of Arts and Culture explains “The Visual Enterprise Scheme (VES) is designed to seek out opportunities to focus attention on young entrepreneurs, and our window space provided an ideal canvas.”

Scheme members Rachel Gretton, Rebecca Stoner, Dan Savage and Petra Bradley were selected to undertake the commission. The young artists quickly realised that rather than display their art in the windows they would display their art on the windows and consulted staff to ensure the pieces they created reflected the work of the Arts and Culture service and included elements personal to each employee.

Signs Express (York) were approached to print and install the window vinyl's, which carry through the full length of the glass panels looking out onto the main street. The team of highly skilled sign makers sized the artwork to fit each individual pane of glass – ensuring the designs would run unbroken throughout the entire length of the window. The graphics were printed in a variety of colours onto transparent vinyl.

The Visual Enterprise Scheme, funded by Arts Council England and coordinated by York College, offers visual arts graduates a chance to develop their business acumen to assist them in turning their talent into a lucrative business. As part of the Scheme, participants receive business support from Science City York.

Helen Perkins, Coordinator for Science City York’s technology business cluster Creative York, comments “This project is a great opportunity to showcase the quality and originality of their work and we’re extremely proud of them.''

Signs Express (York), provides a complete design, manufacture and fitting service for all forms of signage including interior and exterior signs, vehicle graphics, window graphics, banners and exhibition products.
