Creative Journeys
Read full descriptionHide full description
We've bought together a group of creatives to explore and produce work inspired by Bristol's business district. The project which is delivered through this app has been designed to encourage people to rediscover this area through the wonderful creations of each artist. The app allows for the project to be widely accessible in a unique way, viewing information on the artists' concepts and process while at the site of inspiration. Join the artists' trail as they showcase small beautiful details of this place, intimate stories and key historical events, as well as their reflections on resilience and wellbeing.
