Bristol is a city rich in cultural heritage and culture in Bristol encompasses everything from art and history to music, sport, theatre, and of course, our people.
Bristol is lucky to have so many highly-renowned and cutting-edge art galleries which regularly showcase both classic, well-known and emerging artists' work. Within a short walk or cycle you can see contemporary art, historic art and an ever-changing and lively programme of exhibitions.
The Royal West of England Academy in Clifton houses over 1200 works of art from 19th century to the present as well as rotating exhibitions. Spike Island is home to a gallery which is free to visit. Arnolfini is a contemporary art based on Bristol’s Harbourside.
