As a very
creative corner of Bristol, the Christmas
Steps Arts Quarter has again fully embraced the 2012 city-wide Bristol Festival of Photography, with
many of the traders and residents in the area getting involved with events and
many different and varied exhibitions.

For the 2010
Bristol Festival of Photography, the
Christmas Steps community organised a
street party, called the CSAQ Night
of the Year.
It was so
successful that we are going to repeat it this year – only bigger and better.
This really
fun street party will see the Steps buzzing with photography enthusiasts from
all over the city. The main events are:
· a promenade
of projections, with photo stills being beamed from various locations onto
the 17th Century architecture of the Christmas Steps.
·
the outdoor
cinema will return, the natural amphitheatre at the top of the Steps will
provide seating on the Steps themselves and the cinema will be screening
photography based films. Bring a rug, a blanket or a chair!
·
four photography exhibitions can be found at the SHOP
Arts Space, Fotohaus, Jenny Life
Gallery and Geneva Stop.
·
There will be an outdoor bar provided by Bristol
Cider Shop
· music
·
street food
·
a photography
market!
CSAQ
Secretary Brett Atkinson says of the event:
“We had such
fun in 2010 with the Night of the Year that we were always planning on
repeating it when the next Bristol Festival of Photography came around, but
this year we are making sure we build on the previous success to make it an
even bigger event. Having so many great
photographers in the area certainly makes it extra special and since 2010 we’ve
had the addition of Geneva Stop who are the perfect neighbours to have when
planning such an event!”
The Night of
Year is on Saturday 12th May from 8pm onwards, all over The Christmas Steps.
