To be a champ you have to believe in yourself when no one will: Q&A with Bristol based arts collective “CHAMP”

Founded in 2014, CHAMP is an open community, a mutually supportive network and an artist-run space based in Bristol. Formed of 13 artists working in a wide variety of media the group originates a strong DIY ethos. Champ’s approach to arts and creativity is one of openness and encouragement, which is demonstrated through their collective practice of skill sharing, teaching and learning.
