Cultural space and infrastructure survey
Copyright © 2024 Bristol City Council. All rights reserved.
The council’s Arts Development team are working with colleagues and partners to ensure cultural and community space and infrastructure are safeguarded and included in development and regeneration planning across the city.
The team have launched a Cultural Infrastructure Survey to identify current needs and pressure points around space, and are keen to hear from artists and creatives requiring space or renting space for their practice, as well as organisations and businesses who offer and enable space for others.
Findings from the survey will be used to inform new strategies and guidance, and will inform priorities around Place in Bristol’s new Cultural Strategy.
The survey takes around 5 minutes to complete. The deadline for completion Friday 22 November.
