On Friday evening Mayor George Ferguson will unveil “Ursa”, a major new work by Jamie Gillman. Symbolic of the Bottom up approach to regeneration for which Stokes Croft is increasingly renowned, the bear stands on the roof of the men’s toilets in the Bearpit, a potent emblem for the Bearpit and the City.
It’s coming up to the last day of the Jacknife exhibition in the PRSC arts container down in the Bearpit on Saturday 4th May, so we’re holding a big final last day sale.

Continuing the theme of the importance of local culture, PRSC presents an exhibition of portraits by local artists of the people who live work and play in Stokes Croft.
On the night of October 14th, PRSC put up 20 panels in the subways of the Bear Pit. The materials were funded by Destination Bristol, who, to their credit, had no control of the content of the work, which was decided by local artists working to the loosest of briefs.
Despite any concerns that may have been raised, the sale of approximately 1,000 Banksy Molotov posters took place on Saturday May 7th amongst much good humour, and without incident, as several organisations including PRSC, Coexist, Bookfair organisers and Banksy’s people worked together to ensure that all went off peacefully.
