Here’s to a fine, fine, crop of South West artists, rolling up sleeves and inviting us into their art-worlds.

To properly kick off the New Year we are opening the Fortnight on our big stage here, and then taking Ferment out across the city to our friends at Watershed and Loco Klub. At these uniquely different venues, we will offer up some wonderful new ideas for you to try on for size. Amongst all the sharings, there is some interesting wrap around activity in the form of a nice chat with last year’s Leverhulme scholars and the first South West Artists and Venue’s meet up (in the form of a speed date. Of course). Definitely worth a look.

Competion opens 22nd January and closes 22nd February

Five years on from the launch of the Bristol pound, the UK’s first city-wide currency, we’re getting ready to redesign our paper Bristol Pounds once again. To do this we’re inviting anyone who lives, works or learns in Bristol to submit designs and images for the third edition of Bristol’s money, which will be released in June 2018.

There have been two editions of the Bristol Pound so far, and we are always amazed at the quality of entries and the designs that Bristol produces. The eight images from our four notes are now famous and are found all over the city in tills, pockets and purses – as there is over £B100,000 in circulation. They have also gone further afield; they are a much sought-after tourist souvenir and have been seen on TV and in the press (as well as various museums around the world including the M Shed and the British Museum). Two of our previous winners have kicked off professional careers on the back of winning. Even the Queen has been presented with our money!

So whether you’re at school, a student, a professional or an enthusiastic amateur, your design or illustration could be featured on a paper Bristol Pound and you could become a little bit of Bristol’s history.
