Bristol Friends of the Arts

Mission: Bristol Friends of the Arts is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of Bristol area residents by providing opportunities for all community members to participate in and appreciate the arts and cultural heritage of our region.

Bristol Friends of the Arts Fine and Performing Arts Mentoring Program pairs veteran artists with emerging artists to meet goals mutually set, usually within a three month period. The mentorship can be designed as an independent study with credit for high school students, as preparation for performance or exhibition, or to further develop the skills and techniques of promising novice artists of any age.  

BFA hopes to expand their art community beyond the local five-town region that it already represents, and is always seeking new local artists and supporters of the arts.
