Based in the heart of Bristol’s Old City, Centrespace Cooperative has been supporting artists with affordable studio space for 45 years. Held over one weekend Centrespace Open Studios is a chance to meet the artists that make up the Co-op including award winning contemporary craft makers, illustrators, graphic designers, traditional upholsterers, printmakers, animators, fine artists, environmental architectural design and much more.
Both the studios and Centrespace Gallery will be open to explore, and the members of Centrespace welcome you to gain an insight into the world of an artist-led co-op and engage in Bristol’s creative community.
This year in addition to the studios there will be a film room showcasing animations and films and we will host talks in the gallery on Sunday afternoon.
A pop up cafe will be available all weekend and will be run by Cibomatto, a sustainable cuisine project by two food loving Italian’s. On the Saturday and Sunday they will be serving delicious food of a high-quality made with locally sourced ingredients, all lovingly prepared with expertise they inherited from their families in Italy.
On the Saturday evening an exclusive ticketed party, with Live music from members and friends will help to continue the celebrations.
This event is a rare opportunity to step into and glimpse behind Centrespace’s studio doors, buy from some of Bristol's best independent artists and to experience the creative co-operative community of Centrespace, an open studio not to be missed.
