- ... that The Lock-Up, an art gallery housed in a former police station, retains the original graffiti from prisoners in the holding cells, and has incorporated the graffiti into a performative exhibition?
ALT1... that The Lock-Up, an art gallery housed in a former police station, uses the originally preserved cells and exercise yard for prisoners as spaces to display art?

Looks good. Prefer ALT1. I might make it something like, that The Lock-Up is an art gallery housed in a former police station which uses the original cells as exhibition spaces?? Andre🚐 05:34, 8 October 2024 (UTC)COI declaration
editI created this article. Just for transparency I should mention the gallery once featured a group exhibition where I was one of five artists featuring works (See here: [4]). For three years I have also put a single piece in their annual 'Collect' fundraiser, alongside over 100 other artists. The gallery has never paid me to display my works, I have no works currently available for sale through the gallery, and I have no ongoing financial ties to the gallery. I will possibly put in an application to submit a piece for future annual 'Collect' fundraisers, if they hold them again, but I have no immediate plans to submit my work to the gallery again in the future. The gallery did not ask me to create this article. Damien Linnane (talk) 02:57, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
