Show us your view of Bristol and see your picture in an exhibition

An exciting competition for art lovers has been launched by

the organisers of a major exhibition at the Grant Bradley Gallery in

Bedminster.

The Exhibition, which runs until November 26, is the annual

fundraising art show for the West of England Multiple Sclerosis Centre,

currently based in Nailsea, and features some of the most talented artists in

the region.

As part of the event Bristolians are being given the

opportunity to see their own work on display as part of a multi-media artwork,

using the pictures of their favourite views in and around the city taken

through a window.

Artist Angie Kenber is exhibiting her own work in the show

which includes her views of Bristol, and she is now appealing to people in the

city to take a photograph of what they think is the best view in Bristol which

could end up in the final piece to go on show at the exhibition.

Natasha Jochman, from the Grant Bradley Gallery, said: "We

are offering this great opportunity to people in Bristol to send us a photo of

their favourite view through any window in or around Bristol.

"We really hope that people will let their imaginations run

wild as their favourite view does not have to be a typical landscape or a shot

of a recognised landmark, we are looking for something a bit more personal, a

view that might have some meaning to the person sending in the photo.

"We think Bristol has so many wonderful views and

landscapes, from the ancient gorge to the modern cityscapes, that our

competition will produce some really great images."

The artwork will be created by Angie Kenber, who is an

experienced painter working from BV Studios, Bedminster.  During the last

few years she has exhibited widely in galleries and shows in London and Oxford,

as well as three times in the New Gallery, RWA, Bristol.  Most recently

she has had a joint show at the Grant Bradley Gallery, and has been invited

back for a solo show in April 2012.

To have your picture included in the View of Bristol

artwork, please send your image, with your contact details on email to competition@grantbradleygallery.co.uk  

Or send your print by post, including a self-addressed

stamped envelope so that it can be returned, to: View of Bristol Artwork, Grant

Bradley Gallery, Number 1 St Peter's Court, Bedminster Parade, Bristol , BS3

4AQ.

The Exhibition is taking place in aid of the MS Therapy

Centre because it relies entirely on donations and the generosity of the public

to ensure it can provide the treatments and therapies that so many people with

MS in the Bristol area rely upon.  Multiple Sclerosis directly affects about

1,700 people in the Greater Bristol area and the MS Therapy Centre already

helps 285 people, and membership continues to grow. The annual art show is a

key fundraising event for the charity.
