Exhibition open: Friday 16 - Sunday 18 January 2026, 11 - 4pm daily
Scheduled events throughout the weekend
Nine established artists from across Britain come together at The Laundrette in Bristol for a captivating exhibition exploring the relationships between objects, bodies, and space.
Holding Space brings together sculpture, sound, drawing, and performance to investigate the delicate and vibrant threads that bind us to objects, environments, and each other.
At a time when knowledge is contested, the climate is shifting, resources are strained, and movement is increasingly restricted, Holding Space stands as a collective commitment to community. It asks how, by thinking and making together, we might creatively imagine a path towards a shared future.
Working together through regular online dialogue, the artists have explored themes of care, community, and connection. In a rare moment when they gather in person, you are invited to join them for a weekend of interactions to investigate ways that ideas can be realised through form and action.
Artists: Abi Spendlove, Alice Sheppard Fidler, Anno Mitchell, David Bradley, Ellie Shipman, Helen Acklam, Melissa Pierce Murray, Simone Hesselberg, Stevie Ronnie.
