Gallery Du 808 in The Arcade Bristol
Posted on: 22 Dec 2018Bristol, as we all know, isn't shy when it comes to boasting about its artistic talents. And rightly so, too. The city is alive and positively throbbing with creatives and artists in a region that continues to evolve and flourish with a wealth of astonishing talent - talent that is being encouraged and nurtured, in fact, by the folk at Gallery Du 808 in Bristol's The Arcade.
This independent gallery's modus operandi is as simple as it is ambitious: to cultivate and encourage the city's artistic community by creating a hub that acts as a platform for their work.
Young, old, male, female; art, of course, has no limitations, restrictions or boundaries, and it's this free-wheeling, open-minded ethos that has been a major attraction and creative release for many of the city's burgeoning artistic exponents.
After all, Bristol is already synonymous with the likes of Banksy, Inkie - and not forgetting the phenomenally popular Upfest, of course - and who's to say the next artist of that calibre (or refreshingly subversive notoriety) won't emerge from this very gallery in the not-too-distant future?
Working with the artists to understand their ideas, intentions and creative processes, Gallery Du 808 is the ideal showcase for new pieces that will be viewed by the thousands of shoppers who pass through the city's historic multi-shop venue.
In 2019 they are looking to start running a series of art classes for beginners as well as still life art workshops and walk-in sessions, so get in touch to find out more if you want to get involved.
