The Southbank Arts Trail now in its fourth year continues to be a very inclusive event attracting school children, professional artists and first timers in equal measure. The event celebrates the creativity in the neighbourhoods of Southville, Bedminster and Ashton and aims through art & performance to bring people together, let them express themselves and have fun.

As Chair of Southbank-Bristol Arts (the organisers of the Arts Trail) I was keen to present a selection of the 180 artists who exhibited in over 50 venues at this years trail and to distil the quality and diversity into one group exhibition. It took a lot of planning, but thanks to the hard work of my co-curators Janine Partington and Abbie Jenkins from the Grant Bradley Gallery the exhibition looks great and has been well received by the artists and public alike.

This exhibition runs from 9 November 2006 until 11 January 2007 at the Grant Bradley Gallery, Bedminster Bristol.
