From the Beginning

The Grant Bradley Gallery, St Peter's Court, Bedminster Parade, was opened by the then Lord Mayor of Bristol, Cllr Peter Abraham, on 31st October 2005.

Two years later, HRH The Princess Royal, visited the Gallery to unveil a plaque officially opening the St Peter's Court Development.

The Grant Bradley Gallery is situated in the former Bedminster Library which was built by George Wills in 1914 at a cost of �10,000.
Since it opened, the Gallery has become a friendly meeting place for local residents, a showcase for artists from Bristol as well as from other cities all round the world and a fundraising site for The Grant Bradley Trust which helps a wide range of good causes.

The Gallery welcomes visits by groups and schools to meet artists who are exhibiting in the gallery.

The Grant Bradley Gallery is a unique hireable art gallery in Bristol which prides itself of showcasing a diverse range of creative ideas and talent. Since its launch in 2005, the gallery continues to support local and national artists as well as arts groups and organisations. It serves as a professional platform for many artists and countless creatives have launched their careers here.

The gallery is available for exhibitions on a monthly hire basis. We have three areas available to artists with hire starting from only �325 per month. For our main gallery, hire starts at �1250 a month. For more information on measurements, please refer to the floor plan above. The Gallery takes a minimal 10% admin fee on any work sold from the exhibition, as well as 30% commission on anything sold alongside, such as prints, books and cards.
