August Newsletter!

In case you hadn't noticed it's been quite a nice summer so far (forget the bit of rain recently) so much so that in a SHOP first, we've been getting our double door on - that's right there are now two gateways to vintage heaven!

In other news, we had to postpone the Summer Cinema of the Steps, due to that unfamiliar wet stuff that fell from the sky ... a lot, but no fear - a new date has been set, so if you had been unable to attend the first one, you can now attend this one can't you?!



But hang on, that's not all, no! - our hugely successful secret events continue (see below for the next one) with 'Secret Psychos'.  Turns out you Shop-Clubbers love a good secret! Naughty Shop-Clubbers!

EVENTS


CINEMA ON THE STEPS!!



Saturday August 10th

8pm onwards
(film will start as night falls)


If this looks familiar fro the last newsletter, it's because the July 27th date got totes rained off!

The date was postponed until the 10th August; same film, same time, same place.

And if you don't know what we're on about then here's the skinny:

SHOP, the Christmas Steps Arts Quarter and 20th Century Flicks have all teamed up to bring you a lovely summery open air cinema on the Christmas Steps!

Those of you that are familiar with what SHOP gets up to may remember that we screen photography stills and films, biannually for the Bristol Festival of Photography and to fill the gap between years, we have teamed up with 20th Century Flicks who will curate the event with their MASSIVE knowledge and love for films.

The bar will be provided by the Three Sugar Loaves and food from local micro-bakery, Tasty Mother's Tucker!

Keep your peepers on our blog and twitter for further info.

EXHIBITIONS



The Take It and Leave It Gallery


The Take It and Leave It Gallery at SHOP is now a month old!

In case you didn't know, the Lounge now occupies with whole top floor of SHOP and the arts space is a permenant living gallery, called
the 'Take It and Leave It Gallery'.



The idea is that you take a piece of art from the gallery that you like, and donate a piece in its place.  Within the lounge and gallery there is also an
area with art equipment permenantly set up from where you create art works to add to the living gallery on the spot.

The pictures are of some recent additions!

Summer Cinema on the Steps!


SHOP (Vintage Lounge and Arts Venue), based on the Christmas Steps and 20th Century Flicks Video Shop have arranged a summer film screening in the Christmas Steps Arts Quarter.

The screening will take place on the Christmas Steps themselves, as with previous events such as the Bristol Festival of Photography, as the Steps provide a natural amphitheatre perfect for such an event.

The bar will be provided by the 3 Sugar Loaves and there will popcorn and food available too from local micro-bakery, Tasty Mother's Tucker.

The genius film choice has been selected by 20th Century Flicks and will commence at sundown (around 10pm).

Hope to see you there!!
