From September 2014 until the end of May 2015, our Neighbourhood Arts Team have been consulting residents and community groups across Bristol to find out what a local art project might look like.

With the first 6 creative projects now up and running, it’s time to begin the second wave of commissions.

We’re delighted to put out a call for proposals and responses from Bristol artists, makers and creatives, to briefs for the following areas:

Avonmouth and Kingsweston

Filwood, Knowle and Windmill Hill

Greater Brislington

Henleaze, Stoke Bishop and Westbury-on-Trym

Horfield and Lockleaze

Henbury and Southmead

St George

Stockwood, Hengrove and Whitchurch

As with our first six creative briefs, each area is calling for something different. Avonmouth & Kingsweston are seeking to recycle local folklore, Filwood, Knowle and Windmill Hill are encouraging active playspaces, whilst Greater Brislington are looking to reactivate St Anne’s Wood for local residents and families.

Commissions are open to all Bristol creatives. £10,000 which includes all fees, materials and expenses.

Want to know more?

We’ll be hosting another Creative Drop-in session on Tuesday 12th May between 5pm and 7.30pm. This is an opportunity to talk directly to the Neighbourhood Arts Team and local advisers, and mingle with other creatives. Come along to find out more.

If you’re interested in responding to a brief but can’t make this date, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via nap@bristol2015.co.uk. The NAP Team are happy to answer any questions.
