PAPER Arts Birthday Party
The Broadmead based social enterprise Paper Arts is celebrating a year helping talented individuals make a living from their creative endeavours. As is the case with many birthday celebrations Paper Arts will be having a party on Saturday May 23 to mark this auspicious occasion.
Starting at 12noon and finishing at 6.00pm visitors to Paper Arts in Merchant Street can spend an afternoon life drawing outside, have a short tour of the artists’s studios, perhaps have their face painted, watch a magician do some confounding tricks, listen to some great live muisic and pick up free issues of the stunning PAPER publication series. Food and drink will be on sale from the independent café Ape About Coffee. And as if this isn’t more than enough to be going on with there will also be a fantastic free art giveaway running throughout the event.
PAPER Arts is dedicated to delivering vital services to young and emerging creatives based in Bristol. They help them to combine their creative talents with the skills required to earn a living from their artistic endeavours. Since June 2014 PAPER Arts have supported over 1,000 artists and creative people. The support they provide is tailored to the needs of the artist who requires it. This can range from studio space, to low cost printing to training.
PAPER Arts currently host an art and photographic printers, an art gallery where they have shown the work of over 70 artists in 24 different shows, 17 studios, the biggest art shop in Bristol, a café and a training room.
