Citywide Public Art Events

'24 Hours in Bristol' 

We organised the popular annual '24 Hours in Bristol' photographic competition for 5 years, in partnership with VisitBristol and Bristol's City Mayor.

10,000 photographs were taken on competition day each year, resulting in stunning exhibitions of winning images showcasing 24 hours in the life of the city.

We brought in event sponsorship, organised event logistics, stakeholder liaison, event PR, selected the judging panel, sourced competition prizes and produced the VIP awards evenings, private views and public exhibitions.

We also worked with Art Ventures in Bristol to transform the magnificent old Guildhall into a pop-up art centre, launched the contemporary Harbourside Arts Centre, organised and found sponsorship for the Harbourside Arts Prize and Bristol Art Prize competitions and managed a series of corporate art events for Bristol businesses.
