BS9 Arts Trail

Discover 87 talented artists at the 2025 BS9 Arts Trail, taking place across 13 venues in leafy north Bristol. Meet local artists and explore a wide range of artforms including painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, printmaking, jewellery, glass, enamel, and wood turning.

Buying directly from artists allows for a more personal connection to each piece and its creator. With prices ranging from £3 to £3,000, there’s something for every taste and budget—whether you’re after a greetings card, handcrafted jug, distinctive jewellery, or a show-stopping painting.

New for 2025 is a special prize draw! Collect stamps from 3 large and 3 small venues to enter and win one of 7 original artworks, including a cityscape by Chris Dye, a necklace by Caroline Casswell, a Super Moon print by Emma Catherine, a handmade plate by Prerna Candiramani, and a signed poppy print by Nancy Chambers.

Most venues offer amenities like cafés, toilets, and step-free access. The trail is walkable, cycle-friendly, on bus routes, and has nearby free parking. All venues are easily reached from The Downs.

Michelle Rose of sponsors VWV says:
“We are delighted to support the BS9 Arts Trail again. It is a fantastic celebration of creativity, community and talent.
