We will be opening our doors to our neighbours and to the wider community on Saturday 5 & Sunday 6 September 2026 as part of the BS5 Art Trail.
You’ll be able to see work created by our resident artists and also take part in drop in workshops. More to be announced soon!
Workshops & Activities:
All Weekend – Silent Art Auction
We will be running a silent Art Auction with money raised going to the Venezuela Earthquake. A5 artwork and other items created by In Bristol Artists past & present will be on display throughout the weekend and visitors will be able to bid on the piece or pieces that would like to own, with the winning bids being announced on a few days later.
Artists & Makers Taking Part:
Studio Meraki – @studiomerakibristol/
We are an artist-led collective specialising in community co‐design, public art, and place-making. We’ll be hosting FREE drop in workshops for children and families during the open studio.
Florence Meadows – @florencemeadows_
Recently I’ve been working on process-led, playful projects combining collage and cyanotype. Using details from my photographs, abstract shapes and found materials, I construct imagined spaces and landscapes. I’ve also been working with photographs from friends and family, putting them through the cyanotype process. I’m drawn to its slow and unpredictable nature, using it as an opportunity to spend time with the images and reflect on the places, stories and memories connected to them.
Jess Hellens – @jesshellens/
Dreamy abstract landscape paintings, using metallics, acrylic and ink on canvas.
Elliot Coffin – @elliot_coffin/
Multidisciplinary artist working across print, sculpture and collage. Using found materials, texture and layered imagery, I explore memory, transformation and the creative potential of fragments.
Calum McCutcheon – @calummccutcheon
I am a multidisciplinary artist working across painting and installation. My work invites chaos & control to coexist, embracing both destruction and careful reconsideration.
Alastair Burgess – @alastair_burgess/
Sculptor and Metalsmith, working in metals and mixed materials. Sculpture, furniture, wearable and decorative pieces.
Kate Laura Meyler – @katelaurameyler
I will be exhibiting some sculptures and have my studio space open to see all the behind the scenes process.
Kathryn Stevens @kathryn_stevens_
Kathryn is an oil painter. She enjoys experimenting with various textures, colours and layers of oil paint. Her paintings evoke a sense of mystery and imagination.
Emma Jean Kemp www.emmajeankemp.com
Emma’s art explores the human experience, inviting reflection and celebrating life. On show in her studio will be some of her bronze figures and clay studies as well as new work of vibrant steel sculptures and expressive prints capturing movement of acrobats.
Tom Colebrook – inbristol.org/artist/tom-colebrook/
Haptic photographic exploration, hand printed B&W photographs, printed from colour negatives, creating textural, grainy images that defy scale and a recognisable subject matter.
