About

Dave Buonaguidi's iconic artwork, 'Bristol is Always a Good Idea', will transform our forecourt as part of the graduation celebrations for Bristol University students.

The installation is inspired by the ‘Good Idea’ print series, with a love note to Bristol enshrined in huge, eye-catching pink lights and has been created by Dave Buonaguidi, AKA Real Hackney Dave.

Bristol is Always a Good Idea is available to view on the RWA forecourt during RWA opening hours, from 10-5pm, 30th June - 17th July.
