Operation: Storefront Art Launches April 1st (full details)
The #BristolCTArtSquad has paired with the Bristol Chamber of Commerce along with various artists to showcase the new "All Heart" culture of Bristol, beautify vacant storefronts, and provide a chance to win an All Heart piece of artwork that with the artist's interpretation of something that's All Heart in our community!
