Circular ArtSpace celebrates two years of its unique gallery space

By Sarski Anderson  Tuesday Nov 11, 2025

Operating out of a decommissioned double decker bus in Fishponds transformed into an affordable gallery space, Circular ArtSpace has become a valued champion of emerging artists.

The not-for-profit organisation has now been in operation for two years, expanding significantly within that time.

It runs regular art markets – the latest of which is coming up in December – and has also established a partnership with Bristol Charities’ Vassall Community Hub.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

So far, exhibited work within the unique gallery space includes that of many local artists and creatives, alongside others based as far afield as Ukraine, Canada, India, and Belarus.

Do you know any artists, venues or events that are keeping visual arts at the forefront of Bristol’s cultural landscape?

Let us know by nominating them as a Bristol Visual Arts Legend.

A total of 1,000 artists have had their work displayed on the bus, as well as 20 different artist collectives.

“As our artist base expands”, says Circular ArtSpace curator, Elio Ardizzone-Garofalo, “we’re keen for people beyond the Fishponds community to discover the avant-garde, exciting art we’re exhibiting.”

The Circular ArtSpace gallery is open Wednesday-Sunday, 11am-4pm, in the yard behind the Crafty Egg Café in Fishponds. For more information about the project, visit www.circularartspace.co.uk.

The Circular ArtSpace Gallery: Community Artists’ Fair will be at The Vassall Community Hub, Fishponds, on December 6 at 10am-4pm. Entry is free.
