East Bristol Contemporary (ebc) is an artist-led gallery based at the trinity centre, bristol, and established in 2016.
ebc seeks to counteract the lack of established showing spaces for grass roots contemporary artists in bristol, and to establish a unique and diverse programme of exhibitions and events. ebc additionally aims to support artists based in the south west. for two years we were the only non commercial artist led gallery producing a regular programme in the city.
we work with many different artists from all over the uk and further afield, often within the first 10 years of their career, bringing their artworks to new audiences in the city, often for the first time. we seek to be an inclusive environment working with artists from all backgrounds.
ebc values paying artists, and with funding from the arts council england we have been able to pay our invigilators too (one of the few art galleries in bristol that currently achieves that).
