NEW GALLERY ON THE BLOCK
Behind the ornate lettering of the Grand Arcade shopping centre on Cambridge’s historic St Andrew’s Street is a modern metropolis. With a glass atrium, dedicated cycling park and over 60 retail outlets, it was the perfect location for our state-of-the-art new gallery. Spread over two spacious floors, the modern artspace is our largest outlet to date and boasts a VIP lounge, cutting-edge viewing room and even a bar area. Light and airy, its relaxed atmosphere brings our art to life. “There’s a real ‘home from home’ feel,” explains gallery manager, Stacy Bodkin. “ And there are so many features to explore. Our viewing room has sliding doors and a
separate sound system, while our VIP lounge is painted in the traditional Cambridge Blue.”
Located on the second floor next to John Lewis, the glass-fronted space is accessible via an escalator and lift. With exposed brickwork, a neutral décor and materials sympathetic to the surrounding listed buildings, it’s an exciting mixture of old and new. “The feedback has been fantastic,” says Stacy. “Customers are blown away by the new look, and our art consultants are thrilled to be working in such a beautiful gallery. We’re definitely making a statement – you can’t miss us!”
