Great idea, I think the Bare Bones can get this jump started!
-
My mom’s an artist, and I know plenty of artists from high school that would love to see such a thing.
-
Great idea Lindsay! I’d love to display some my own work at an art gallery right here in town!…”Z”

This dovetails into the idea already proposed of turning Memorial Blvd. School into a Visual and Performing Arts Centre. That idea includes gallery space for artists as well as studio spaces. The school already has an existing theatre for live performances, as well as outdoor space for an amphitheater.

I support a gallery that would represent The Arts for every age and taste.

Lindsay, I used to work at RAW back in the day when it had the garage doors that opened to let the outside in…that kind of combined indoor/outdoor space could be interesting!

I would love you all to go to the The Artist’s Cooperative Gallery of Westerly. This is where local artists came together and created an amazing gallery in the Westerly RI downtown. Visit if you can

We need an Artist Co-op where Bristol’s many talented artists can come together and work. All we need is a modest building that can be renovated where Bristol’s art community can work together and create a lovely art venue to show their work..
-
In order to improve the feasibility of this idea, we should do some market research on who buys, sells, and creates art in the area.

Tina, Real Art Ways has been one of my favorite places for years. I especially love their Creative Cocktail Hours. We could totally do something like that here!

Great idea! I am thinking something small scale.with perhaps a Real Art Ways type atmosphere…
-
Sounds great. Let’s do it..all these ideas are great..and they will come true..but its the politics and finances that we must overcome.

This would be wonderful. I work at the Art Gallery at CCSU in New Britain and I really enjoy the New Britain art scene. I would love it if my hometown, Bristol could be like that. I would love to be a part of putting this art gallery on Bristol’s map.

This could be put in the Boulevard school location.
