The Island is a multi use arts facility and creation centre in the old police station in Bristol city centre. It hosts a wide variety of creative spaces from circus training, dance and rehearsal rooms, making spaces and artists studios to dark rooms, recording studios, a gallery and a suite of early 20th century police cells.
We have one large space becoming available within the Island and our first port of call is to see whether there are Creative people out there looking to partner up with us to turn these spaces into exciting and vibrant additions to the project. You will get the opportunity to work in a creative environment and have access to all the other facilities of The Island (Art shop, Gallery, Training Space, Dance Space, Fashion studios, Music studios) and work amongst some great Bristol artists.
