Foster Gallery: A CETH creative space and opportunityFoster Gallery is managed through the Centre for Employability in the Humanities(CETH) and will play a key part as a Realistic Work Environment (RWE). It is currently and simply a group of display cabinets which are situated in Foster reception and refectory. Despite this low profile, artists have generated some success in selling from these displays. We aim to do much more with this gallery space to capitalise on the opportunity it offers as a gallery, a retail space and as a learning opportunity for students. This RWE is being developed during 2007/8, where changes will include: · These cabinets being visually marketed and re- launched as a student/staff display/gallery/exhibition space · Linking this display space with other exhibition space around and outside the University· Some cabinets being moved and given a higher and more visible profile· Artists of the month being featured alongside displays· Students having the opportunity to study on a Running a Retail Gallery/Exhibition space from September 2008· An online ordering/retail system being developed: I am very interested to talk with any colleagues who could help me or advise me on how to develop the online ordering system which I am very keen to have running by September 2008 If you can advise about the online ordering system, are interested in displaying your artwork or crafts or if you think your students might be interested in any aspect of this contact me: Ruth SharpeRsharpe@uclan.ac.uk or phone ext.5069
