ARTIST RESIDENCY: BONNINGTON WALK, BRISTOL

Ginkgo Projects seeks an artist, artist group, maker, or craftsperson for a residency at Bonnington Walk, a new residential development in Lockleaze, Bristol. Commissioned by Legal & General Modular Homes and developed in partnership with Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust, this residency aims to connect new and existing communities through creative engagement.

The project will focus on sustainability, nature, crafts, and community-led creative practices, embedding artistic activity into the development’s new community spaces, including a garden, orchard hub, and shared green areas.

Artists will have the opportunity to develop one or more of the following project strands:

• Wellbeing through nature connection

• Makers and craftivists

• Community enterprise and activation

The residency is expected to result in a mix of temporary and permanent artistic interventions, alongside participatory and process-led activities that foster a vibrant, connected community.
