Mural

Bristol Beacon is a place of warmth and light, and we want your arrival inside our venue to fill you with joy.

As you enter Bridgehouse, our entrance space, you’re greeted with a 10-metre-high mural created by the artist RTiiiKA (Rosa Ter Kuile). These vibrant illustrations exemplify the joy and unity of making and enjoying music together.

The mural is a symbol of the creativity and community that comes with enjoying music together. It features depictions of people dancing, playing music and a motif of ‘the hand’ – representing the skill of musicians as well as the unity of listening and creating together.

When you next enter Bristol Beacon, look up and take in the colour and vibrancy of RTiiiKA’s mural that bring life and joy to us every day.

I’m excited that this is the first thing to see in the Foyer space – the building is starting to shift.”

Rosa ter Kuile (RTiiiKA)

Rosa ter Kuile is a visual artist whose work spans graphic art, illustration, mural making and street art. Many of her projects revolving around themes of disregarding archaic notions of the gender binary in favour of the joy of expression and movement.

We’ve had the honour of working alongside her on many different visual projects since 2021. Most notably Rosa is one of the designers of our refreshed visual identity, which accompanied our name change in 2021.

Rosa also created Brislington’s first street art alley, founded Bristol Mural Collective, an all-skill level women-led group that hosts monthly paint jams for anyone to join and even works alongside Rising Arts Agency to make the arts more accessible to young people.
