Bristol artists in residence
Art on display
The house-to-house art trail was free
Neighbours in Bristol opened their homes to the public to display art.

From Friday until Sunday 30 householders in Totterdown displayed the work of 80 artists in their living rooms.

This is the third year that the free trail - called Front Room - has been held.

In the past more than 3,000 visitors have attended. All art on display is for sale.

Houses participating were marked by an orange and black duck flag.

The range of work on show included paintings, photography, sculpture, jewellery, ceramics, artists books, props, poetry and installations.

Cathy Hicks, a mixed-media artist, said: "The event has such a feel-good atmosphere and because it's in the home it's not intimidating like a gallery can be.

"We get to show that artists can be friendly."
