Spike Island
International centre for contemporary art
Situated in a massive former tea-packing factory on the Harbourside, Spike Island is an international centre for the development of contemporary art and design.
This vibrant creative hub houses over 70 artist studios, a world-class public gallery, and innovative workspaces for designers and creative businesses.
Visitors can explore cutting-edge exhibitions that push the boundaries of modern art, often featuring site-specific installations and experimental digital works.
The open-plan, industrial architecture creates a unique atmosphere where the making of art is just as visible as the finished product.
With a regular program of artist talks, workshops, and the popular Open Studios event, it offers a fascinating look at the creative process in the heart of Bristol’s docklands.
