Gallery gives trail preview Art-lovers visiting Gloucester Road will be given a sneak preview of what’s on offer in the West Bristol Arts Trail in coming weeks. From mid-September, Bishopston gallery and shop Room 212 is showcasing work by artists who are taking part in the trail, which will take place from October 11-13. Room 212 owner Sarah Thorp said: “Locals are encouraged to pop in, see the art, pick up a free copy of the trail map and possibly bump into one of the artists.” Among those exhibiting as part of the trail are Gloucester Road’s own Catherine Amesbury, jewellery designer at Artemis, and glass and jewellery artist Robyn Coetzee of Fig, as well as Sarah herself, who will be showing her work with wools
and textiles. The gallery has also brought together around 20 local artists for a launch event for the trail to be held at the Bristol School of Art at the Royal West of England Academy in Queen’s Road, Clifton, on October 11 from 6-9pm. The launch is open to the public and will feature work by the artists. The trail, which was first held in 2008, takes place in studios in Redland, Clifton, Clifton Wood and Hotwells. For a full list of artists taking part, a list of venues and more details visit www.westbristolarts. com or pick up a leaflet from Room 212. Pictured above is work by Maita Robinson, far left, and Lorraine White.
