Urbis continues to support 'The Longest Night' Illuminate Project14/01/2011

Urbis have continued to support local arts-based project Illuminate in their Christmas event, 'The Longest Night.'

The event opened on North Street during the traditional late night Christmas shopping week in Bedminster and closed on the longest night of the year, the winter solstice (17-21 December 2010). Film, animation, installations, robotics, puppetry, displays and exhibitions were all used to open up and feature disused properties and generate an interest in the area. Once again the event was a huge success and the organisers did a wonderful job of bringing the local community together.
