here shop and gallery

This little shop and gallery was just another empty city-centre store front until 2003’s incendiary Ladyfest Bristol claimed it to temporarily house it’s ‘From The West Coast To The West Country’ exhibition (an exceptional show of contemporary Californian art by Fawn Gehweiler, Emily Ryan, Gabrielle Gamboa and Saelee Oh).

Rather than see it return to being yet another empty shop on Stokes Croft, a brave collective of young people got together to keep it open, and over the past four years have created one of the most vibrant, beautiful and exciting shops in the whole of the country, with a reputation that has spread world-wide!

Exhibitions have included ground-breaking work by such artists as Lilith Travaglini, Camilla Engman, Caroline Hwang, Jad Fair, Mark Pawson, Deth P. Sun, Peskimo, Alika Cooper, Marci Washington,
Kelly Jones, Tom Marshman, Bjorn Lie and many others (those from overseas often exhibiting in the UK for the first time)
