Future Development
In November 2007 Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery in partnership with the Arnolfini was one of five successful institutions to win an additional £1 million from the Art Fund. This will be used to reflect the city's history as a port and "a city of international transaction", to purchase work by artists from China, Africa and the Middle East, such as Meschac Gaba and Romuald Hazoumé, from Benin, Hu Xiaoyuan, Xu Zhen and Lu Chunsheng from China, Sherif El Azma from Egypt, Sigalit Landau from Israel, and Huit Facettes of Senegal. The theme of the Bristol partnership will be ‘Glass Walls: Reflections and Interactions’.
