Welcome|Free Resources|Projects| Media| Network| Contact
Inspired by Open Source Software and the Agile Arts Manifesto, the Empty Shops Network aims to spread the skills, knowledge and resources needed to turn an empty shop into a pop-up shop as far and wide as possible. These include free Empty Shops Toolkit, the earlier and lighter Empty Shops Workbook, and the space finding website Spare Place.
