The Basics
- Once your booking has been approved, keep your approved reservation email with you at all times when you go to paint at the Gallery.
- By making any artwork or adding other marks at Market Road Gallery wall you confirm that you agree to the all the points here and small print (terms) outlined below.
- Site access is between 07:30am – 22:00pm via Market Road Football Pitches reception.
- Remember to report to the Pitches reception area first, on any day you visit or paint at the wall.
- Paint happy!
Remember . . .
- Not to paint outside of the designated area you have booked.
- To paint nothing intentionally or consciously offensive.

By painting or making art at Market Road Gallery, you agree to these points and terms below.
- Action. Once you have your reservation, just drop in to Attic Self Storage (276 York Way, N7) within your booked time and show your booking to get access to the wall – and maybe some free paint for the first people in line!
- Duration. For now, bookings last for one month, after which someone else (including you) can choose to book and paint on the same spot.
- Feedback. Responses received via http://www.marketroadgallery.org may positively or negatively the affect the time your art stays on the wall.
- Cost. All bookings are free.
- Materials. You as the artist bring your own materials (paint etc.) and try to leave the site cleaner than you found it. We are trying to make some paint available to people on their first booked visit, while stocks last.
- Working at height. For most bookings you are expected to only work from ground level. A number of extendable poles are available to borrow for painting rollers, etc., from Attic Self Storage reception, on 276 York Way. From time to time (but not always) the Gallery project team will be able to make a scaffold tower accessible, periodically and subject to availability. Access to this will be subject to your agreement of separate terms, via your signing a waiver form available from the Attic Self Storage team. You must hold your own artist’s liability insurance before you can access any such equipment.
- Location. The gallery wall is located in London N7 – on the back of the Attic Self Storage building, where York Road meets Market Road, by the sports pitches – link here.
