2010-18 Jack founded and ran nomadic art gallery Antlers working with artists through pop up exhibitions, partnership commissions and publishing. Antlers worked with predominantly early career artists supporting them to explore some form of stretch forward in their practice. 

Graduating in 2007 with a BA Photography prior to 2010 Jack worked as an artist studio assistant and was a practising artist involved in artist led projects in Stroud.

Since joining Ruby has worked across Bricks full programme, working with artists, community members, and partners. Within Bricks, Ruby is the lead for BRIZ, a community newsletter for the Brislington area, helping to produce and distribute across the local area.

Ruby moved to Bristol from Nottingham in 2014 for a Fine Art Degree at UWE where she specialised in performance and film, and became active in Bristol’s arts scene. She’s been involved in different member-led galleries and publications, contributing her skills in photography, writing, and production.

Living in St Anne’s, Ruby is engaged in the community, and loves learning more about where she lives through community members and the goings-on in the area through the work at St Anne’s House.

Georgia has joined Bricks as the Engagement Producer. She will be collaborating with the local community of St Anne’s to explore the possibilities of a creative community hub at St Annes House.

She is interested in how socially engaged art can be a space to explore what care can look like and create space for play, risk-taking and the unexpected.
