Room 212

About

Room 212 is a shop and gallery selling art and craft by over 50 Bristol artists. Described as a treasure trove or Aladdin’s Cave, visitors can while away time looking at huge variety of original paintings, prints, jewellery, cards, gifts and more. Room 212 is based in the Art Section of the popular Gloucester Road, the longest high street of Independent Shops in Europe. This high street is a vibrant part of the community with wide pavements full of plants and flowers and plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars.

Room 212 is at the hub of the North Bristol Art Trail (held during the last weekend of November) and Glos Rd Central, a group of independently owned local shops and galleries. The area has regular themes tie in with the seasons or Bristol events, encouraging artists to produce new work which keeps the shop fresh and vibrant. Our themes are inspired by the time of year, events happening in and around Bristol or by the artists' work. Artists help to run the shop and so there’s always the opportunity to meet creative people when you visit and to learn about their creative ideas. Room 212 organises events such as the Glos Rd Central Mayfest and Christmas Street Party as well as creative workshops and activities.
