Inspiration is everywhere in Bristol. I can take a walk on any given day and see street art by Banksy, hear the sounds of saxophone, piano and violin drifting out onto the street, and experience a diverse combination of landscapes and neighbourhoods. It all helps to spark creativity.
J.K. BleegBristol is such a creative city, with a wealth of other artists to bounce off of. There is a strong sense of community which is often lost in bigger cities and there are so many opportunities to get involved.

Cathie CooperBristol is a culturally diverse city, with loads of street art, an annual graffiti festival. The city is a bit rebellious, in the recent past I have been inspired by the climate movement. The energy the city has displayed in challenging injustice and authority inspires my work.
Dan GardinerBristol has an amazing DIY culture. From music to art to social justice. It inspires me to to experiment and take risks.
