North Bristol Art Trail

As the West of Bristol, the North also is also exhibiting its art works this weekend in North Bristol Art Trail 2013. It is a free event were galleries and private houses will be open for you from 10am to 6pm this coming 23rd and 24th November. In addition, some of the venues will be opening also on Friday for a preview night from 7pm to 9ish.

Venues will be located in Montpelier, Westbury, Redland Bishopston, St Andrews and even Golden Hill and Henleaze, full of arts& crafts for you. Art works include watercolours, oil painting, glass design, ceramics, photography, scupture, handcraft jewellery, textiles, basketry, t-shirt printings, hand printed postcards and calendars... Artists will surely appreciate your visit!

This time on Sunday, I will be looking for postcards and calendars, and I have selected some venues that I will visit.

• Cath Read, 78 Radnor Road. 
  She is involved in a 2014 calendar which I saw in the shops. Very beautiful artwork, perfect for a gift! See calendar here.
• Julie Taylor and Clare Cutts, 34 Monmouth Road. 
  I am not sure I will find Christmas cards on their collection, but their fine cards will surely be a good purchase for any occasion.
• Maita Robinson, 9 Burghley Road 
  Singer, making quirky cards, mixing newspaper style shapes with colourful patterns. Beautiful!

NOTE: There is an artist directory in the official webpage of North Bristol Art Trail (here) if you want to check other artist's work and biography.

Gift Tokens in £10, £30 and £80 values will be available to buy before or during the trail. If you are interested to have some tokens before, contact Sandra Cocks on 0117 924 7254 or visit Artemis at 214 Gloucester Road. Additionally, you can purchase a token during the weekend at 4 of the venues in the trail (check map).

As done on the West Bristol Trail, event organisers recommend public transport or bike to visit through Art Trail, as parking is very limited in most of these areas. In the West Bristol edition, each venue was easily recognizable as they displayed red balloons in each venue door. This North Bristol edition, you should look for the bunting outside each venue!
