Trail applications close on Sunday 29th March 2026 and Community venue applications close on Sunday 22nd March to allow time to reallocate people if venues get full. The cost to take part in the BS4 Arts Trail is £35, as well as an additional community venue fee which varies depending on the venue. All venue fees are detailed below.

Home venues
If you live or work within the BS4 postcode area of Bristol we encourage you to open your home/business/space. This can be any space we can add to the trail map; your front room, garage, studio or shop – it just needs to be in BS4! You can also team up with other creatives to share a space or home venue. Each artist will need to fill out their own application form for the same shared space if they want to have a separate individual artist listing in the arts trail printed guides.

The following community venues are available for 2026 for all artists who don’t have their own space.
If you would like to be a host venue, send us an email to bs4artstrail@gmail.com and we can direct you to find artists.
