On-street artwork project – call for artists


Visual of temporary measures at Victoria Street

We are commissioning five artistic interventions for new parklets and key locations within the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood trial scheme. 

The artwork will help create places where people want to spend time, interact with neighbours, and enjoy the unique identities of these places.

We are aiming to engage up to five Bristol based artists to work collaboratively to explore local context and work with local communities to co-create locally distinctive and cohesive artworks at five sites within the trial scheme.

The five sites include:

  • Barton Hill Triangle parklet opposite Wellspring Settlement
  • Marsh Lane junction with Avonvale Road
  • Victoria Avenue near Redfield Educate
  • Queen Ann Road and Avonvale Road pavements near Barton Hill Academy
  • Beaufort Road parklet near St Patricks Catholic Primary School


The interventions will be painted surface artworks on road and/or pavements and in newly created pocket parks. The aspiration is that if the scheme is adopted permanently all the artwork will be re-installed in thermoplastic for longer term durability.

It is vital that in creating the design, all the artists engage and involve local people throughout the process.

If you are a resident or a community group that would like to help shape how your neighbourhood looks, participate in free artistic co-design workshops or volunteer to help make the artworks a reality, please register your interest by emailing liveableneighbourhoods@bristol.gov.uk.
