In a resident opportunity created by Artspace Lifespace and Bristol City Council‘s Arts and Events team, an artist will be able to create a public facing exhibition that will be displayed at The Vestibules in City Hall, and will have use of the two Vestibules between October 15 and 23.
The artist’s work will be displayed in The Vestibules
As part of the residency, the artist will also receive a bursary of £2,800 to support their time, cost of materials and other expenses, and will be provided with a paid mentor to support their exhibition development.
