Sparks Bristol

Global Goals Centre and Artspace Lifespace are delighted to be working together to create Sparks Bristol – an exciting new arts and sustainability hub in the old M&S building in Broadmead. As you enter Sparks, you will be transported into a department store with a difference. Departments such as fashion, food and nature will offer services from sustainable re-use shops to playful installations, and everything inbetween! Upstairs we will transform the space into a hub for local artists, offering much-needed affordable artist studios as well as a rehearsal and performance space. Launching in May 2023, Sparks Bristol will be open at least until December 2023, and hopefully much longer! The unique combination of artist spaces, sustainable retail, education and re-use is a world first pilot project that we hope can be replicated in more empty buildings in high streets across the UK.
