Bristol’s awesome independent music venue and art space Start The Bus is set to get a fresh new look as some of the city’s finest artists and illustrators collaborate to transform its interior.

On Saturday 31st July a selection of local talent will take part in an all-day drawing event, turning decoration into a spectator sport as they use their skills to stamp some memorable imagery onto the bar’s interior.

With all the walls up for grabs and a bright new colour scheme planned the participants are bound to leave the space looking amazing. Everyone is invited to come and watch throughout the day for a chance to see some amazing artwork being created from scratch.

Each area of Start The Bus has been given its own special theme, which the artists involved will be free to interpret as they choose. For example, the bar is set to take on a piratical hue, whilst the challenge for the dance area is to cover the floor with a series of mind-bending optical illusions.

The project coincides with the Bristol Harbour Festival, which is taking placing throughout the city centre Harbour across the weekend.

Start The Bus is an independent venue committed to supporting Bristol’s creative scene as well as featuring talented artists and musicians from around the world. To find out more, visit www.startthebus.tv.
