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.
