Open Call: Sound Artist Residency for 40–46 Albert Road, Bristol

Ginkgo Projects, on behalf of Avon Capital Estates, invites a sound-based artist to take part in a residency as part of the redevelopment of 40–46 Albert Road, Bristol.

Located in the St Philip’s Marsh area of the city, close to the River Avon and Temple Meads, this redevelopment will provide student accommodation and includes an enhanced public realm, including a publicly accessible riverside greenway.

The selected artist will work with sound to respond to the site and the surrounding area, using research and temporary installations/performance to design and develop a permanent piece of work for the site. Therefore, artists based in the South West of the UK are encouraged to apply.

The Artist’s Brief sets out the background of the development, followed by expectations of the residency and details of programme and budget.

How to apply

• Download and read the Artist’s Brief.
• Submit your expression of interest as a single PDF to sophie@ginkgoprojects.co.uk, including all of the elements outlined in the Submission Requirements (p.11).

Deadline: 14th January 2026

Let us know if you have any access requirements for making your application, or if you require the Artist’s Brief in an alternative format.
