People’s Art Fair: Winter 2024
Acting as a celebration of culture and expressive art, the People’s Art Fair is open to artists, makers, photographers, painters, sculptors and creatives of all shapes and flavours. We know art isn’t just paintings hanging on walls, so the People’s Art Fair includes an art market, and all sorts of creative workshops and activities.
Life Drawing & Print Sale with The Loovre
The Loovre will be hosting a life drawing event and a print sale of photography/art from a range of artists.
The Improv Spotlight
Immerse yourself in the world of unscripted comedy as two talented groups from our vibrant community take centre stage, weaving unique stories, characters, and humour on the spot for your entertainment. This month under the Spotlight we have Pressure Cooker and The Improvised Adventures of Star Captain.
Audio Collage Workshop with Kat Martian
Collaboratively draw a visual score, then perform it using only voices in this interactive workshop from Kat Martian.
People’s Art Club & Community Drop-in – Collage Badge Making!
Make some art, have a cup of tea & a chat, pick up some Dope Magazines, a sleeping bag or tent.
Cut & Paste Collage Club
Delve deep into our boxes of paper goodies and cut-paste-rip-tear-scrunch-staple-glue together a weird & wonderful collage.

Calling creative Bristol!
The People’s Art Fair is an open group exhibition curated by the PRSC. Acting as a celebration of culture and expressive art, the People’s Art Fair is open to artists, makers, photographers, painters, sculptors and creatives of all shapes and flavours. We know art isn’t just paintings hanging on walls, so the People’s Art Fair often incorporates an art market, live music jam sessions, poetry open mic, and all sorts of creative workshops and activities.
Do you make art? We want you! Come and help us to transfer our blank white gallery space into a riot of colour and expression.
Do you like art? Come and immerse yourself in creativity (and stickers, and weird sculptures, and fine bone china, and painted dominos, and fridge magnets) and support your local artists. Entry to the art fair is always free.
Participation for artists is also free but PRSC will take a 40% commission on all sales, and artists will need to help with installation and staffing of the show. If you’d like to be involved in the art fair, please complete the form below or email email hidden; JavaScript is required for more info.
