Get involved with the Gravel Lane windows project
Would you like to showcase your work at Gravel Lane?
We’re inviting local artists, artist collectives, community groups, schools, youth organisations, institutions, grassroots cultural organisations, and particularly residents from the Middlesex Street Estate to take part in a continuous community-led exhibition celebrating local creativity and lived experience.
Submissions are welcome across a wide range of formats, including visual art such as illustration, painting, photography, and textiles; small-scale sculpture or objects suitable for indoor display; film or digital content (subject to technical constraints); and story-based or archival material that reflects local history, culture, and everyday life. This is a chance to share what matters to you and see local voices and creativity on display.
To find out more and submit your ideas, click on the below buttons.
The deadline for entries is 27th March 2026.
At a pop-up event in the summer of 2024, we asked what you would like to see. You said you wanted:
Bold and creative solutions
The history of the area and its people to be referenced
Gravel Lane as a destination for art
A showcase of artwork and films
A seasonal or changing gallery that is updated every six months.
Let us know your thoughts – does this still align with what you would like to see?

Would you like to be a part of the steering group?
We are looking for 1-2 residents and local community members to sit alongside institutional partners as part of the Gravel Lane shop fronts steering group.
The steering group will be responsible for selecting the items for display, curating the look and feel across the windows, ensuring that the community criteria is met, and helping to spread the word of future display opportunities to residents and community.
If you are interested in being a part of the steering group, please submit your interest to hello@urbansymbiotics.com by the 27th of March 2026.
