    Let mm be a natural number, and let Q\mathcal{Q} be a set containing at least exp⁑(Cm)\exp(C m) primes. We show that one can find infinitely many strings of mm consecutive primes each of which has some q∈Qq\in\mathcal{Q} as a primitive root, all lying in an interval of length OQ(exp⁑(Cβ€²m))O_{\mathcal{Q}}(\exp(C'm)). This is a bounded gaps variant of a theorem of Gupta and Ram Murty. We also prove a result on an elliptic analogue of Artin's conjecture. Let E/QE/\mathbb{Q} be an elliptic curve with an irrational 22-torsion point. Assume GRH. Then for every mm, there are infinitely many strings of mm consecutive primes pp for which E(Fp)E(\mathbb{F}_p) is cyclic, all lying an interval of length OE(exp⁑(Cβ€²β€²m))O_E(\exp(C'' m)). If EE has CM, then the GRH assumption can be removed. Here CC, Cβ€²C', and Cβ€²β€²C'' are absolute constants
