Bristol’s cultural scene will take centre stage next summer as the city welcomes British Art Show 10: A Chorus of Strangers. Alongside the exhibition, Bristol Fringe 2027 will celebrate the city’s vibrant and diverse creative community, bringing together artists, organisations, independent spaces and community groups through a citywide programme of contemporary visual arts.
We’re inviting Bristol and South West-based artists, creative organisations, independent curators, artist-led spaces and community groups to get involved. Whether you have an exhibition, screening, workshop, performance or something entirely unexpected in mind, there’s an opportunity to be part of Bristol Fringe.
Bristol Fringe is an opportunity to showcase the breadth of creativity happening across the city, connect with new audiences and celebrate everything that makes Bristol’s cultural scene unique.
There are three ways to get involved:
Are you planning an exhibition, event, workshop, screening or creative project in Bristol next summer? Submit your independently organised and self-funded activity for inclusion in the Bristol Fringe citywide programme.
Accepted activities will be promoted through the British Art Show 10 Bristol website, a digital citywide events map and a wider marketing campaign delivered by the BAS10 Bristol Partners and Visit West.
