Art Acumen brought together a diverse group of creatives to explore and produce work inspired by Bristol’s business district. The project has been designed to encourage people to rediscover the area through the wonderful creations of each artist and to spark their own curiosity and creativity.
Each artist meticulously recorded their creative process as part of the commission, to be shown alongside the final work. Through artists’ sketches, notes, maquettes and short films they captured their initial inspiration, idea evolution and execution. A wonderful and rare insight into the minds and workings of 12 talented artists.
The resulting artworks are showcased via an intuitive app along with a record of each creative process. An interactive map guides the participant on an imaginative journey through the eyes of each artists, from painters to dancers and poets to sculptors, as they unveil the area’s intricate details and sharing its captivating stories.
