BRICKS - WHO ARE WE AND WHAT DO WE DO?
Bricks works with Bristol’s creative, local and social enterprise communities to programme collaborative activities and secure permanent spaces in the city for our communities to build community resilience and sustainable futures.
We believe in the civic role of artists and that through collaboration we can have a strong collective voice to influence the growth of the city.
Our flagship project is St Anne’s House, a creative and community hub in St Anne’s Brislington. St Annes House hosts a wide range of projects to the benefit of our local communities in St Annes and the region's wider creative communities. Uses within the 21,000 sq ft building include creative workspaces, community projects, a cooperative gym, theatre making space, hirable community rooms, wellbeing and therapy rooms, community sauna, a soon to open cafe and much more.
Currently on a five year lease, we are in active negotiations with Bristol City Council to make this long term and then will deliver a programme of capital developments to improve the building’s sustainability and produce a youth housing project on our roof.
We also run a public art and creative infrastructure consultancy working with developers, local authorities and local communities to write and deliver programmes of creativity funded through new developments, and to secure spaces within new developments for creative and community uses.
