Art Of Inclusion

The Inclusion project ran from 2018 to 2023, here is how it all started… In 2018 Artspace Lifespace and sister company Invisible Circus received funding from Bristol City Council to develop a strategy to make our spaces more inclusive and programming more diverse. We wanted a larger demographic to not only use our spaces but feel empowered within them through collaboration and discussion.

The Art of Inclusion was born out of a need to start conversations city wide around social attitudes towards equality and inclusion, as well as how we break down systemic barriers. We’ve been looking at each of our spaces with a fresh pair of eyes and perspective to think about how we can become more inclusive.

Art of Inclusion is bigger than ourselves and feeds into a much wider social question of how we can all work together to make the arts more diverse – but more importantly, inclusive. Meet The Team behind a series of free events looking at various problem areas in the arts scene.
