Bristol can boast a strong cultural and artistic heritage, as well as an impressive range of emerging new talent too. And what better way to see some of the best new artwork from the city's freshest talent than at the Bristol School of Art's End of Year Show on Friday 19 June?
After a year honing their craft in a foundation diploma in Art & Design, the fledgling artists and designers will be displaying their final work in the iconic setting of the Bristol School of Art, Queens Road, in the right hand wing of the Royal West of England Academy.
The exhibition will feature a vibrant mixture of pieces from over 70 different artists, with five studios transformed into five unique and surprising spaces.
So, join the thousands of feet that have treaded paint into the floors over the past 100 years – including past students, and four-time Turner Prize nominee, Richard Long.
With so many artists displaying work, the odds of bumping into a burgeoning star is practically guaranteed.
The private viewing will take place on June 19, from 5-8.30pm, with general public access on June 20, 21, 22 and 23, from 10am-4pm.
