A partnership between Bristol's Arnolfini and a group of teenage artists is aiming to bring art to a new generation.

Young Arnolfini Artists Collective will work with the gallery to organise a series of events over the next few months.

It is starting with a small exhibition in the Arnolfini cafe this month, and next month the collective will co-produce a main gallery installation.

The artists are students at North Bristol Post-16 Centre's Cotham site, specialising in a range of media including art, photography, textiles, dance, film and performance.

Their aim is to bridge the gap between the gallery and young people.

Student Jessie Padfield said: "I think it's really important that people my age get the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate art in all its forms."

Jennie Lodge said: "I believe art should be accessible to all and that it is important to develop an interest from a young age.

"Exhibitions which are made to be interactive and to capture the attention of all visitors are a perfect way for them to understand and enjoy the arts."
