Bristol 1904 Arts is a Membership Club focused on the enjoyment of the Fine Arts, Performance Arts and other interest activity groups - with artists, performers and general members all having fun!

WELCOME FRIENDS ALL

Welcome to the Bristol 1904 Arts website. I am proud to be its new President in this season of 2024-25.

Bristol 1904 Arts is a not-for-profit Members' Club that for the most part is run by volunteers since 1904!

Bristol 1904 Arts continues to evolve in the areas of Arts and entertaining Performance Art. And this year our focus and theme will continue to be one of association. We are seeking to work, to cooperate and to share with even more like minded artistic, musical and cultural organisations for our mutual benefit and for the benefit of the great people of Bristol.

Bristol 1904 Arts' purpose and value is that it is generalist: Bristol of course has many first-rate arts initiatives and institutions but which only tend to cater for one genre. '1904' as we sometimes call it, is truly Bristol’s crosscutting arts society, open to all, whether artist, performer or simply amateur. Our club offers artistic creativity with the joy of entertainment and combines this with active hobby type pursuits, such as Photography, Walking, Classic Cars, Bird-watching, Cultural Expeditions etc.

Bristol 1904 Arts' as a society, comes together on Wednesday evenings during our October to May season. On these Wednesday evenings our members enjoy a concert selection of the visual and performing arts: painting, music, recitation and magic.

Outside of the Wednesday evenings there are also the interest activities we mentioned including: the Walkers Group, Bird-watching, Photography, Classic/Vintage car groups etc and we organise convivial social events and of course our annual highlight - the Annual Exhibition of Paintings!

We meet in our unique barn like Performance Hall filled with Art and curiosities, tucked away behind the fascinating Red Lodge Museum. Our vision is to bring together the arts and admirers of the arts in this wonderful and diverse city of Bristol, in a spirit of fun, enjoyment and good company!

Do come and join us as a member and take your part in creating an arts institution that adds to the richness of Bristol and one that it can be proud of.
