Hello and welcome
Welcome to ArtPort - home of Portishead Arts Festival.
ArtPort is a vibrant community event that brings together art, music, performance and creativity in all its forms, right here at the heart of our wonderful estuary location.
Entirely run by volunteers, the festival and its contributors work hard to bring together a range of events and creative experiences for all age groups - a packed programme of artists and makers, workshops and demonstrations, live musical performances, dance events, art trails, film and more.
2023 is only our third year - but look how far we’ve come in such a short time!
We are twice as big as last year, offering more wonderful opportunities to see, hear and take part in fun, enriching, creative and community experiences right here in our fabulous town, on the edge of the old Severn Sea.
We always need sponsors and volunteers. If you can help us in any way, please get in touch.

How it all began…
|
The brainchild of local resident Nicola Holland, Portishead Arts Festival is now in its second year. Nicola moved to Portishead from Bristol four years ago and was immediately smitten by Portishead’s unique combination of location, history and thriving contemporary arts community.
“I had lived in Bristol for more than a decade and yet knew almost nothing about our close neighbour, Portishead! When I settled my young family here, I knew we had found our forever home - so much so that I became a Portishead councillor. |
