Abstract: Fix an integer $geq-1$ that is not a perfect square. In 1927, Artin conjectured that there are infinitely many primes for which $g$ is a primitive root. Forty years later, Hooley showed that Artin's conjecture follows from the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH). We inject Hooley's analysis into the Maynard--Tao work on bounded gaps between primes. This leads to the following GRH-conditional result: Fix an integer $mgeq2$. If $q_1<q_2<q_3<dots$ is the sequence of primes possessing $g$ as a primitive root, then $limin{f}_{noinfty}(q_{n+(m-1)}-q_n)leq{C}_m$, where $C_m$ is a finite constant that depends on $m$ but not on $g$. We also show that the primes $q_n,q_{n+1},dots,q_{n+m-1}$ in this result may be taken to be consecutive.
