SBA is sorry to announce that the autumn/winter exhibition will not be able to go ahead this year.

A great space for the exhibition was first located in a Victorian shopping arcade that links Broadmead with the Horsefair, but that was withdrawn by the owners. Another space to show in was found in St Catherines Place, Bedminster, but again this was withdrawn.

We are currently getting together information on all of the people who have signed up to be members this year and/or get involved in the Arts Trail.

Once these are together, the Web Team will create accounts for everyone.

If you had an account on the web site last year, you can use the same one this time around. This will have been disabled since last year, though, so it will be re-enabled once the list of members is available, and an email will be sent to you informing you of this.

Please be patient in the meantime. Processing everyone’s information will take some time, and we are all volunteers with lots of other commitments.

If you’d like to help speed things along, why not muck in with the organisation? A little bit of time here and there goes a log way!
