We are very lucky to live in Bristol, it has a great art and independent community whilst being small enough to get across the city and being surrounded by countryside.
Last week we visited the Centrespace gallery, a small but fantastic art space down the smallest of back passages covered in great graffiti and art (quite a few ceramic wall plaques have been added over the years too,if I remember I will blog about them soon).
The https://www.concretecollective.art/ had a show so we decided to pop in and have a look. There were some great graphic pieces, some inspired by New York (which we love having been lucky enough to visit in 2017) AND there was an interactive wall you could use their typewriter, stamps and inks to add a piece of art should you wish, well try and stop me!
This is the piece I did with one of my favourite phrases "When one door closes....open it again. It's a door, that's how they work". I have painted this phrase on rocks, postcards, cardboard etc so I thought I would use their typewriter to add the phrase (and my details of course). It only took a few minutes but it was great to take part.
Here it is displayed on the wall. The one below was from my husband and is a quote from the band "The Clash" (his favourite band) and seems ever more possible in these days of reality 'TV stars' and the such being treated with celebrity status .
If you have local gallery spaces where you live I recommend to visit often they are a mind of creativity and you never know what you may stumble across.

Looks like a really interesting place and what a great idea to let people add to the collection. Have a great week, Angela xXx
