12 Artists
3 Rounds
1 Winner
Painters put their skills to the test with only 20 minutes to turn blank canvases into incredible pieces of original art. Audience vote decides who will go home with the Golden Brush and earn their spot on the Grand Final. This is Art Battle®.
Artists include Sophie Long, well known for her stunning animal portraits (https://www.instagram.com/sophielongart/), Darren Hoskins with his unique take on colour and line (https://www.instagram.com/darrenlhoskins/), Janice Kirkby-Brown who “checked out the videos for Art Battles.” and “ loves the look and feel of the energy created within the Art Battle space”. (https://jkbartistwriter.com/) and many more amazing local artists.
After kicking off her shoes to paint barefoot, Chi-Yien Snow (https://chiyiensnow.com/) earned her spot as champion and took home the Golden Brush! She’ll be returning as the headline artist and we can’t wait to see what she creates with more time.
All works created, including Krystan’s, will be available for silent auction on the night, bridging the gap between creators and collectors, creating a supportive creative community, and allowing audiences to take away a part of the night to remember.
As always, tickets are 50% for students and concessions to make sure we give everyone the opportunity to share in this amazing experience.
All art materials for the artists to show off their skills along with prizes for winners are provided by our principal sponsor, Daler-Rowney. T-Shirts come from our local print shop The Live Ink Co.

]]>Jade Elizabeth Bird is a British singer, songwriter and musician. Her debut EP Something American was released in July 2017. Rolling Stone described her vocals as "raw and robust" with Tony Visconti stating "she sings so adroitly, she's very intelligent as a singer and there's nothing she can't do".
Jade’s chosen to record her debut album in Woodstock with celebrated producer Simone Felice.
While she lives in London now, Jade says it’s everywhere else she’s lived — and the reasons she’s moved around so much - that have made her the woman she is. She was born in Hexham, up near the Scottish border, then moved to London, then Germany, and then Wales. Not unusual for someone whose parents are both in the army, but after those parents split up it was the move from Germany to Wales with her mum that made the biggest impact on Jade.
This event is now SOLD OUT.

Speaking ahead of the forum, PCC Sue Mountstevens said: “I am delighted to return to Bristol for this public forum. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet with local people and those from the surrounding areas.
“I really look forward to these forums as the Chief Constable and I can speak to local people, find out what they think about policing in the area and answer any questions they may have. Local people tell me that they see these meetings as an opportunity to share their concerns and to help make the communities of Avon and Somerset safer and stronger.”
Chief Constable Andy Marsh added: “These public forums are a brilliant opportunity to hear, first-hand, how local people feel about their police service and neighbourhood policing teams. It provides a chance for us to talk face-to-face about some of the challenges we are facing in policing and how our local communities can help us”
The forum will be held at The Trinity Centre, Trinity Road, Bristol, BS2 0NW and will take place between 7pm – 9pm on Tuesday 12th March 2019.
