If you own or manage an unused or empty building that could benefit from an injection of art and excitement, Wasted Spaces would like to hear from you.

Wasted Spaces helps to reverse the decaying effect vacant commercial property has on local high streets and communities. Once the buildings are cleaned up, they are no longer seen as abandoned or vacant, which deters vandalism and squatters. The sites are secured, so that the public can appreciate and interact with the installation, but not enter the site.

The benefits of transforming a space in to a Wasted Spaces project are:

• Abandoned buildings are less susceptible to vandalism as they are now filled with art
• Wasted Spaces renews interest in empty spaces, and increases interest in a community, by bringing both old and new visitors to an area
• An active building with an installation demonstrates the property’s commercial potential
• Community and neighbouring shops benefit from the disappearance of dilapidated buildingsThe project creates the opportunity for sponsors to build a relationship with the local community
• Wasted Spaces will bring great publicity to a brand through press and PR efforts
