Vestibules, Park Street
The Vestibules is a dedicated residency space which aims to give artists free space to develop their work, showcase Bristol talent and give cultural and community groups unique environments to display work.
The Park Street Vestibule is a unique artspace in the city and has been used by artist not only to develop their work but to exhibit to new audiences. Due to its location within City Hall and on College Green, it has been particularly popular as an exhibition space for socially engaged artists.
Artspace Lifespace is working with Bristol City Council’s Arts Development Team to help them explore this alternative way of supporting Bristol’s arts and culture sector by opening up the Park Street Vestibule as a residency space.
The venue is only available during the provided open times, there is no access to the space outside of these hours.
Residencies
We only offer Residencies for our Park Street, this is a rolling opportunity and is open to charities, community groups, educational groups, artists and students. Please note that the residency offer is for space only but you are welcome to speak to our team at The Island if you require any additional support.

Opening up the Vestibules to local groups will provide much needed art space for local talent. By supporting the local arts scene in this way we can ensure that artists and other creatives continue to play a big role in developing Bristol’s growing culture economy.
