Two temporary artworks by leading contemporary artists Ivan Morison and Heather Peak will be unveiled on August 19 in Bristol. Overstory, a pair of suspended structures inspired by trees, will hang above Broadmead highlighting the importance of urban tree cover in the city.
The contemporary artwork will temporarily transform Broadmead, with visitors invited to enjoy the installation, which will hang high up overhead, alongside enjoying a programme of engaging, fun and free activities involving art and nature. Find out more here. Further details coming soon…
