Art Acumen was commissioned to create a public art programme to add cultural depth and identity to Bristol’s business district as part of CEG’s EQ development.

The public art programme was designed to bring this creativity to the business district; presenting opportunities for the local community to engage with and discover their surroundings in a novel and nuanced way. The commission commenced with invitations to a diverse group of talented creatives to explore Bristol’s dynamic business district in search of inspiration, be it an architectural or geological feature, a street name or an event from local history. During their walkabouts, the artists were asked to consider reinterpreting the obvious, show the hidden or celebrate the unnoticed or forgotten.
