Christmas lights tend to be a little bit samey. We are looking to reinvent the concept...

Bedminster Delivery stage

£12,185
pledged of £22,206

Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.

Given our organisation's purpose is to 'exploit and eventually explode the gap between art, advertising and entertainment, high street retailing and real estate development' we usually like to do things a little differently. Working with a local Bristol based lighting artist, we will bring Christmas lights to Bedminster. But different!

What we'll deliver:

  • Projecting large scale text onto building facades; single lines of text extracted from Christmas carols.
  • Simple lighting (possibly solar) into existing hanging baskets that adorn the locale.
  • Illuminating redundant windows on ground and first floor with colours and/or Christmas imagery
  • Re-utilising the existing LED lighting in a different format rather than the generic lighting chain across the street

Why it's a great idea:

Everyone loves Christmas but for many years Bedminster could not afford Christmas lights. This has changed with the advent of the Town Team however our choice of Christmas lighting has been perhaps a little traditional. Given our purpose to fuse art, shops and entertainment, this seems like a great idea.

Steps to get it done:

  • We have a plan agreed with a local specialist that has completed wonderful projects of this nature all over the world.
