Art / Centrespace Gallery
Centrespace Open Studios returns along with the illustrators’ exhibition ‘We’re Here Now’
Coinciding with the opening weekend of We’re Here Now, the exhibition of work by four Bristol illustrators in the main gallery space, Centrespace will be welcoming visitors to its annual Open Studios on October 10-11.
The 29 studio and workshop spaces are based in the heart of Bristol, tucked away from the bustle of Corn Street in Leonard Lane – a haven for street artists.
Within the last year, there have been a number of improvements to the building, as well as the arrival of Vicky Willmott and Jemma Gunning’s Bristol Print Collective in the newly adapted Studio 1.
