The Selling Gallery will open its doors on Friday 24th July at PRSC HQ.
This will be a rolling exhibition that will run all summer, showcasing and selling the work of local artists, thus generating income for local artists, and for PRSC to continue its work.
The Banksy exhibition at the City Museum has seen huge queues… PRSC will be handing out mini canvasses/flyers for the punters to create pieces of work as they queue for Bristol’s greatest free show… The resulting creativity of the public will then be exhibited in Stokes Croft, as an exhibition in its own right…
Pic nicked from Wikipedia…
In order for this to happen, we will need volunteers, to help run impromptu workshops with whatever queue there might be.
Pieces of work go up in Stokes Croft so regularly now that it is impossible to document it all…
Down by the Full Moon, we have the Six Million Dollar Man by BS51.
For an area full of pubs, clubs and street drinkers, the lack of nearby Public Toilets has meant that Turbo Island’s sub-station has been an open latrine for many years.
a Lycra-clad Rat Race thundered through Stokes Croft on the afternoon of Saturday 27th June, and a very sweaty business it appeared to be…

Whilst he was up a ladder cleaning off the damaged Banksy Mild Mild West, Chris Chalkley of PRSC was handed this letter from Denise James, Project Officer for Bristol Clean and Green.
Banksy’s Mild Mild West was got at again last night 23rd June… Looks like it was the same person(s) who did the piece down at College Green.From the look of it, it was done with paintbombs or from a paintball gun… It was easier to tidy up than the last attack, mainly because there was much less of it.The piece still looks OK from a distance, but is beginning to show the strain of repeated attacks, on closer inspection.
Niyaz Saghari – still available… Current bid £20
Still time to collect a painting at very little money down at PRSC HQ.
Jamaica Street Studio’s Annual Jamboree approaches. The usually secretive Jamaica Street Artists painted the Jamaica Street hoardings over the Bank Holiday to advertise their week-end, and jolly good it looks too…
On Friday 5th June, there will be an auction of their splendid work… As a fundraiser.
The piece above appeared last week, on the front of no. 35, after its predecessor was buffed by the Free Shop guys.
