Registration is now open. Please register as soon as possible after this date, we hope to complete registration and have collected payment by Saturday 1st April 2023.

We have had to raise the entrance fee this year to reflect ever-increasing costs, though this is the first increase in at least 10 years. The entrance fee is now £60 per artist (not per venue). There is no charge for schools.

How to Register

Click on the registration tab in the main menu above and follow the instructions on the form. If you took part in recent art trails you may be able to pick your name from a dropdown list, (NB we recently cleared out hundreds of artist details from the dim and distant past, some returning artists might have to enter their info afresh, sorry about that). Any queries, just contact us at reg.wbat@gmail.com

New Email Addresses

This year we are introducing more “targeted” email addresses to replace the original one. If you have a query, it would be very helpful if you could use the appropriate one below:

The old address westbristolarts@yahoo.co.uk will continue to function for the time being.
