Founder of the Shrewsbury Arts Trail, Jessica Richards feared that her independent art shop Shrewsbury Arts and Crafts might have to close.
So, she approached Shrewsbury Library about whether a permanent concession space – bringing together both of her businesses – could be created to establish an art-hub that can be visited all year round, in the centre of the county town.
The library space has been fully renovated – with help from Shrewsbury BID and Castle Carpets who have generously sponsored the project.
A beautiful window mural, created by renowned local artist Emma Williams, is in place and has begun turning heads and attracting the attention of visitors.
