In November 2017, Art in Motion presented Somewhere in the City, an exhibition of work made by five Bristol-based artists: Betty Sargent, Chris Rose, Jeff Johns, Jonathan Barr Lindsey, and Dave Pearse at Arnolfini.

Somewhere in the City was a participatory arts and heritage project that explored an overlooked, historic area of Bristol: a cluster of streets and lanes behind the Hippodrome, extending up to Red Lodge. The artists participating in the project worked with AIM to explore this area of the city, and through research and investigation, created works of art in response to the site. Following site visits, work was developed at Studio 45 at Spike Island. All the artists involved in the project were supported to evolve their own practice and contribute their unique approach and vision to the city in which they lived.

The project was part of an EU-funded international exchange programme, Expanding Realities, a collaboration between four organisations supporting artists with disabilities to develop their practice. The organisations involved were AIM, CIT Crawford College of Art and Design, GASP, Cork, Ireland, and Debajo del Sombrero, Madrid, Spain.

AIM was a newly emerging, not-for-profit participatory arts organisation. Somewhere in the City involved Colin Higginson, Helen Grant, Amy Spencer, and Kamina Walton.

AIM received funding from Arts Council England, Erasmus+, and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
