Bridges

Bridges

Arts Council funded project working with local people to share stories and create artwork together

Visual and performing arts project exploring the theme "bridges"

A programme of accessible arts workshops using spoken word, creative writing, performing and visual arts, to draw out personal stories of local people.

We will use the arts to build bridges between communities and celebrate the rich cultural diversity of inner-city Bristol.

The project will culminate in a final performance event at the start of 2013, inspired and adapted from works produced by participants throughout 2012.

We want everyone to get involved. If you are a community group, individual or artist interested in the project, please contact bridges@3ca.org.uk to register your interest.
