HOTWELLS&CLIFTONWOOD
Autumn 2008
wards improvements in the local area. Research by the Commu-
nity Association has discovered that much of this money has been
used on projects of little direct benefit to residents in Hotwells
and Cliftonwood and some of it remains unspent, years after it
was received.
These so-called ‘Section 106’ agreements are supposed to mitigate the impact of
new buildings on the surrounding community and can be used for a variety of im-
provements, depending on the scale of the project. Hotwells has experienced a
flood of new development in recent years and 7 projects in our area for which
planning permission was granted af-
ter 2000 have Section 106 agree-
ments with the Council .
enefit of the trail for artists will be to allow neighbours and visitors to see the work you do and
ted in. It is also good for the community to have people come into the area and discover its many hidden charms. What does
m the weekend? Personal fulfilment and the buzz of having people see and appreciate your work.

artists Janet describes herself as an artist from birth, as a small girl she loved to draw and to
create and so it was perhaps a natural progression for her to go to art school and
oss the from there to continue as a teacher of art. Between art school and eventually moving
to Bristol, Janet lived in Dorset where she worked on the land and so was involved in
he art- the landscape on a very organic level: an influence which later found expression in her
a in a watercolours. It was whilst working in Dorset that she saw an advert for an MA in
to see Architectural Conservation at Bristol University and decided to apply. The architec-
tural aspect to her studies allowed her to look at buildings differently which helped to
their develop her large scale installations and sculpture. It was during her studies in Bristol
n their that Janet began to fall in love with Clifton, eventually moving here 25 years ago.
t work
to be This will be Janet’s first arts trail, although many people in the area will already be
familiar with her work through Art on the Railings and also the annual Community-
Pantomime for which Janet designs and paints the sets each year. However, these
re five events aside she usually works to commission so the trail will provide her with an
a fla- alternative way to exhibit. Janet thinks that the benefit of the trail for the artists in-
story. volved are chiefly that it provides an important stimulus, artistically and also practically, as it represents a deadline for
when work has to be finished. As for everyone else, Janet hopes the trail will bring pleasure and excitement for its pa-
West trons. What does Janet herself hope to get out of the weekend? The pleasure of joining in and being part of something
with other artists and exhibitors. As a largely solitary pursuit, it can sometimes be lonely being an artist!
