- Spike Island Open Studios 2018: Call for Volunteers Every year at Spike Island, hundreds of artists and creative businesses throw open their studio doors and visitors are invited to explore their working environments. Open Studios weekend includes a programme of family friendly activities, tours, events and pop-ups by some of Bristol’s best street food traders. We are looking for volunteers to help at various times across the weekend, including supporting artists with specific performances and projects, and helping us to inspire and assist visitors as they explore this extensive building. Open Studios runs from Friday 4 May, 6–9pm (followed by after party until late); Saturday 5 May, 11am–5pm; Sunday 6 May, 11am–5pm; to Monday 7 May, 11am–5pm. Volunteers must attend an induction session on Wednesday 18 April at 5–6.30pm.
