The People's Art Fair returns to city for fourth year

A Bristol art exhibition is due to return to the city for its fourth year with a line-up of more than 80 artists from the city and around the world.

The People's Republic of Stokes Croft (PRSC) announced the return of People's Art Fair, a 10-day event "celebrating creativity in all its forms".

It will take place from 12 to 21 April at PRSC Space on Jamaica St in Bristol.

Booking manager Rozi Flack said the fair celebrated "incredible diversity of creative expression".

The People's Art Fair is a collaborative exhibition devised and hosted by the PRSC, open to all artists and art lovers.

The fair will exhibit the work of more than 80 artists in a free open group show, with the opening night party on 11 April from 18:00 to 21:00 BST.

The main exhibition will open daily from midday to 18:00 BST and will be free entry for artists and visitors.

A PRSC spokesperson said: "The fair embodies the ethos that together we are greater than the sum of our parts, demonstrating the power of collective action.

"By bringing together artists from diverse practices, the fair produces something truly special and unique," they added.

Daily workshops will be available featuring tile decorating, china decorating, photography and a community mural project.

The fair will also host an improv comedy show called "The Inprov Spotlight".

A PRSC spokesperson said: "The fair aims to challenge elitism in the art world and break down barriers to creative expression.

"The People's Art Fair strives to make art accessible to everyone".

Booking manager Ms Flack added: "At PRSC, we know that art transcends the traditional gallery setting.

"By coming together to organise this event collaboratively we demonstrate the power of art to unite people and enrich us all."
