It’s the
thirteenth Southbank Bristol Arts Trail on Saturday+Sunday 16+17 May.
We’ve
participated every year since moving from Oxfordshire (this year will be our 12th
year). In fact, the very first morning of the very first Arts Trail in 2003 was
the day we first viewed our house. There were an awful lot of smiley people
roaming the local streets and popping into each others’ houses to view art! It
felt like a very vibrant, arty area… and just the sort of place we were looking
for. We made an offer for the house the same day!We ended up converting the two basement bedrooms, so we could use them as studio space… and duly joined the arts trail the following May.
For us, it’s always been a bit of a family affair (two of our three daughters also live in Bristol) and this year Moira, Ruth, Hannah, Stuart (Ruth’s husband) and I will be exhibiting work alongside three of our lovely friends Jen, Sarah and Anna.
These days, we attract over 500 people down into our basement every Arts Trail weekend – so, if you’re in the Bristol area next weekend, please do come and see us!
PS: if you just can’t wait to see all the beautiful art (or if you just fancy a glass of something!), you could even drop round on Friday evening 15 May 7-9.30pm… it would be LOVELY to see you!!
