IN BRISTOL'S ST PAULS AREA, ARTS OPPORTUNITIES REVOLVE AROUND THE PIERIAN CENTREThe Pierian Centre is housed in a gracious, Grade 1 listed Georgian Square, lovingly restored to provide a learning environment that supports the learning process and where the organisation takes care of everyone who walks through the door. As well as being a conference/meetings facility, the Centre hosts a wide variety of courses and activities. It regularly participates in Doors Open Day, Refugee Week, art exhibitions, musicians forums and other public events and has had a footfall of 45,000 in 4.5 years. This is contributing to the regeneration of St Pauls in many ways. People who would otherwise not come to the area visit the Centre for courses. They pass the word round about some of the public activities. They change their own perceptions of St Pauls and then encourage others to do so. St Pauls has a high refugee population, and a cultural mix of artists and musicians with whom the Centre works collaboratively. The Centre also works with local organisations, some of whom are community focused and others of whom are businesses generating economic growth in the area. The Centre offers sponsors a range of benefits, which can include • listing in its programme (2,500 are distributed every quarter) • Invitations to a fantastic selection of activities including private views and book launches • the knowledge that they are supporting a business with increasing importance in St Pauls and its regeneration • and "something that they would like which we have not thought of?!"
