Photos of Petro show opening night at Friend&co

We are a lucky bunch in Bristol, I mean at least for those interested in street/urban/graffiti art, because not only do we have an abundance of top notch art in our streets, but we also have some great shows. The latest one of these opened the other week (20th Nov) at the Friends & Co gallery on Park Row and featured the work of London-old-school-writer Petro.

Burning Candy opening night at the Emporium

Last night (not coincidentally Guy Fawkes night) saw the opening of Burning Candy’s show at apparently their favourite gallery in Bristol, the Emporium. This is no doubt because they have free rein over the whole building, including the roof, which is the perfect place to set off fireworks, hang an inflatable crocodile and drink a few Red Stripe.

Emporium Disguised as an Estate Agent

The Emporium is a not-for-profit community gallery that was established a year ago in Stokes Croft using a reclaimed building which had previously stood derelict for over 25 years. The space now welcomes exhibitions, meetings, workshops, etc. and is open to all.

Their latest exhibition, which has just finished, consisted of two parts. The first being the ‘People for places’ installation and the second ‘Emporium @ the Emporium’.
