ANNOUNCEMENT: A new direction for Beyond We!
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us these past three years!
Our ambitions for a new arts space based on the Bristol Harbour dedicated to developing, showcasing and sharing the work of black artists and creatives has now been halted!
Following a long research and development process we had split the programme into two parts; Arts programme and Venue purchase. We are so proud to be have been able to deliver on the development of our arts programme, but sadly we have been unable to realise the venue purchase.

Feasibility Study 2021-2022
Beyond We x UWE Student Architects
We spent six months working with a team of masters students - Interconnected Designs, to complete a feasibility study for the venue.
We consulted with artists in the regions, participated in design sprints and worked with the students and creatively imagined what, where and how the Beyond We venue would look, feel and function in the harbour.
Research and Development.
We recruited a collective of Black Artists and Creatives.
The collective consultancy group fed into the design and development of the proposed venue and arts programme during 2020-21.
Community Consultations are now live!
Help us launch the first black owned business on the Harbour!
Have your say!
Contribute your thoughts and ideas into the development of this new space. We particularly want to hear from future audiences of all backgrounds, and from artists and creatives of African and Caribbean heritage.
Consultation now closed.
We are creating the world we want to live in.
