EBC DAY SCHOOL

east bris­tol con­tem­po­rary are pleased to announce a brand new and unique alter­na­tive arts edu­ca­tion strand for Bristol.

building on the success of ebc’s Night School (hosted by Arnolfini), Day School offers artists a shared studio space alongside monthly education days with guest artists, support and advice for work and careers, and other professional development opportunities, community projects and social occasions.

invited guest artists are drawn from ebc’s diverse network, and reflect the many different artistic practices represented in the UK. Day School is an inclusive and welcoming environment, and the artists we work with are selected with these values in mind.

the school is both committed to the idea of alternative education as a meaningful response to the current climate of UK arts provision and educational institutions, and the opportunity to see the arts encouraged and thriving in the amazing city of Bristol.

-24/7 access to a shared studio space and desk space (or equivalent), space to be designed collaboratively by participants themselves (whole studio space c.39m squared)
