Art / West Bristol Arts Trail
West Bristol Arts Trail returns for 2021
Fifty venues across west Bristol will play host to approximately 150 local artists over one weekend as a popular art trail returns.
Visitors will be encouraged to explore West Bristol Arts Trail at their leisure over the weekend of October 16 and 17.
This year’s trail will take in art shown in a multitude of different spaces, from homes and studios to hotels, school halls and churches.
The event is free, and the vast array of artists displaying their work ranges from ceramicists and sculptors to photographers, fine artists, printmakers and jewellery designers.
Among the entrants for 2021 include self-styled ‘pandemic artist’ Martin Palmer, who was inspired to express himself creatively during lockdown.
“All my work has been created in my new home studio under the shadow of Covid,” says Martin.
