Art / BS9 Arts Trail
87 local artists to participate in BS9 Arts Trail
The 2025 BS9 Arts Trail has expanded, with 87 artists participating in this year’s event.
Taking place across the weekend of June 7-8, the volunteer-run trail will encompass 13 different venues in Henleaze, Stoke Bishop and Westbury-on-Trym, most of which are accessible, and well served by parking spaces, cycle and bus routes alike.
The exhibiting artists include painters, sculptors, printmakers, ceramicists, photographers, potters, jewellery designers, glass workers, enamellists and a wood turner – all of whom will be on hand to talk people through their process.

All work is for sale, ranging from £3-£3,000 – purchasable direct from the artist.
And for those aiming to visit multiple venues over the weekend, visitors are invited to collect six stamps to be in with a chance of winning one of six pieces of original art.
Free trail maps will be made available in shops, galleries, libraries and cafés around the BS9 area – including Clifton, Redland and Bishopston, with some delivered through local letterboxes.
