About Circular ArtSpace
Circular ArtSpace is a not-for-profit gallery based in Bristol, UK, founded in March 2022. We curate physical and virtual exhibitions, as well as artist fairs, with a focus on supporting emerging and underrepresented artists.

Our physical gallery in Fishponds welcomes around 400 visitors per month, while our VR exhibitions in MetArtSpace attract an average of 800 monthly visitors from around the world. All exhibitions are accessible 24/7 from any device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or VR headset).

Why Exhibit in VR
Participating in a Virtual Reality exhibition means gaining visibility in a fast-growing and forward-looking segment of the art world. The Metaverse is attracting collectors, curators, and art lovers eager to explore new ways of experiencing and acquiring art.
Unlike static online showcases, VR exhibitions offer a truly immersive and interactive environment that increases viewer engagement and fosters meaningful connections. By exhibiting in this space, artists reach a global, tech-savvy audience already invested in digital innovation — opening new doors for creative and professional growth.
