Bristol Ideas is a leading organisation for public debate and learning, bringing together arts and sciences to explore the key issues of our time. We collaborate widely in the city, nationally and internationally. We are dedicated to building new futures for people, places and the planet. We are committed to commissioning new work; forging lasting partnerships; and supporting artists and organisations to contribute to major cultural programmes.
Our projects include citywide and national arts and heritage projects; and festivals – Festival of Ideas, Festival of Economics and Festival of the Future City. We regularly support and co-produce film programmes across the city and are always interested in hearing from organisations, large or small, who are interested in partnering with us.
