Southbank Bristol Arts

7:30 - 8:45 pm Tuesday 2nd October, at the Southville Centre, Beauley Road

Do you want to get involved in the Southbank Bristol Arts Trail next year?

Do you want to show off your stuff, or help us with the organisation?

Come along to our AGM, where we will invite people to sign up for next year’s Trail, and join in with the steering group, who organise the event (and the organisation itself).

This is a great opportunity to get involved in a fantastic local event and a great organisation.

We can even tempt you with wine and nibbles! Why not come along and find out more.

The event should be a relaxed and social one, with opportunities to talk to others and discuss this year's Arts Trail and ideas for future projects. Come along to find out more about joining in, have your say on current and future projects and contribute to the vibrancy of your community.

The SBA is a volunteer-run organisation, and relies mostly on membership fees for the funding of the Art Trail and other activities.
We have always allowed group memberships for bands, performance groups and craft groups who produce work together. We would ask, however, that the members of these groups consider joining individually.
This means each of you will get your own space in the Trail Map, and your own space on the website, where you can post news and examples of your work in the run-up to the Trail. Read more →

We're now calling all artists and makers to join the SBA for our anniversary trail on 19 and 20 May 2012.
