Bricks is a Bristol‑based charity with a mission to build the resilience of Bristol’s creative, local and social enterprise communities in ways that are creative and mutually supportive.

We work to local ambition, value collaboration, and believe that creativity has a vital role to play in shaping civic life.

We currently deliver our mission through our flagship projects St Anne’s House
, Bricks Public Art
, and the Creative Infrastructure Agency
, with plans to grow this portfolio further in the years ahead.

Founded in 2019, we launched Bricks Public Art in 2020 and took on the lease of St Anne’s House in 2021.

St Anne’s House (SAH) is a 25,000 sqft creative community hub in east Bristol, co‑designed with local residents and creative communities.

SAH is home to artist studios, coworking and rehearsal spaces, a community café, youth projects, a cooperative gym, and wellbeing facilities including a sauna and therapy rooms. It also hosts a wide range of flexible creative and community projects.

Our vision is to build community resilience, foster connections, support local talent, and provide a space for people to test and grow new ideas. With a long‑term asset transfer on the horizon, we are preparing for a capital development programme to retrofit and secure the future of the building.
