A photograph of someone talking to a room full of people. The speaker is standing, they have long grey curly hair and are wearing a dark blue top. The audience is seated and the photo is taken from behind so we see mostly the back of their heads. One the wall behind the speaker are two posters, one neon pink with an image of two buses and the text 'on the buses'. The other is paler pink and has an image and the word 'Dolphin'.

Bath Art Depot (BAD) is a collective of artists, architects and artist-educators who live in Bath. BAD undertook a WEVAA Research and Development Fellowship in 2022, to explore the potential for a new arts and cultural hub that addresses the lack space for the vibrant yet dispersed creative community of Bath. Their aim is to create a place where contemporary art and community meet; that challenges the barriers to art and culture, builds a creative environment upon the values of equity and care, and promotes dialogue and collaborative working to enable change.

A Vision for Weston Island was created to share their thinking and research process, and plans for the development of Weston Island, a former bus depot.
