Jamaica Street Artists' Inside-Out Exhibition
Fresh from the success of their entrepreneurial venture The Art Box, Jamaica Street Artists will be starting the New Year with a bang presenting Inside-Out at the Royal West of England Academy.
As an insight into Bristol’s explosive studio movement the show highlights JSA’s prominent position in the city’s art scene. Encompassing the vibrancy and diversity of the studio, the exhibition showcases a number of emerging and established artists, and ex-studio members who have gone on to achieve international success.
The exhibition takes the studio from its working environment outside and into the public eye, feeding the public’s intrigue and fascination with the studio’s secret world of creativity, brought to life by an enlightening narrative of Jamaica Street Artists impressive history, from its disparate beginnings to the gradual formation of its current coherent identity.
Jamaica Street Artists exhibiting alongside the master of Matisse creates a dynamic contrast of the established and emerging, mirroring the movement and change blowing through the RWA as it launches into the New Year with a new and exciting programme.

Also don't forget that Bristol Creatives Gold Members can book a place on the forthcoming Artsmatrix 'Take Me To Market' Event for the substantially discounted price of £45 instead on £65.
