Community Venues are a key part of our Trail each year. ⭐🏡
⁠
Arts Trails in Bristol began with artists opening up their own homes to display their work and make creative connections locally.

Homes still make up a super important and interesting part of the Trail each year, but for those who live outside our of exhibiting area or who aren't able to open up their homes, Community Venues provide excellent additional exhibiting space for artists.⁠
⁠
Community Venues host between 1 and 25 artists each, and vary from community centre and cafes to church halls and studio spaces. ⁠⛪☕⁠
⁠
⁠If you're looking for a place to exhibit, you can find a list of our Community Venues on the website, with details on each including the types of space they each offer.👌🏽southbristolarts.co.uk
