Spike Island is a worldwide centre for the development of contemporary art and design that includes a gallery, café, and workspaces for artists, designers, and creative enterprises. Spike Island, a thriving centre for creation, presentation, and debate, provides chances for audiences to interact directly with creative processes through participation and conversation. Spike Island, located on the southern end of Bristol’s historic docks in a former Brooke Bond tea packing plant, is a significant component of a vibrant centre of creative and cultural activity among the city’s Harbourside community. A year-round programme of exhibitions, events, and family activities is offered in the expansive, well-lit gallery spaces, as well as artists’ studios and commercial workspace for both new and established designers, and creative businesses. Spike Island is located in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area. Annual Open Studios on Spike Island draws thousands of people who come to see what goes on behind the scenes. Artists open their studio doors to allow you to see what they do, why they do it, and how they do it, and to learn about their creative process.
