IC Visual Lab



An independent arts organisation based in Bristol (UK). We create long-term collaborative projects that bring together communities to explore today’s world, alongside a regular programme of educational workshops, talks and events. Our work bridges the gaps between contemporary photography, expanded storytelling and overlooked archives. We also run an in-house design studio (ICVL Studio), collaborating with international artists, organisations and brands to produce publications, projects and outcomes.

< OPENING SOON >

We have just agreed a 3-year lease for an old shop with 4 rooms above. We will transform the ground-floor into a gallery and reading room that can stage a regular programme of exhibitions, talks and workshops, while the upper floors will provide affordable workspace for local practitioners.
The space will be called ‘Instant Coffees’, a return to our original name - we started as a slideshow-night below a café, full of enthusiastic over-caffeinated photographers sharing their projects - and hopefully a disarming invitation to our new neighbours.
