An Artists Cooperative based in the Cotswolds with Stroud as its heart.
The Stroud Artists Cooperative was set up in 2021 and our first event was an outdoor Stroud Art Fair with over 40 artists participating! Our aim is to provide a forum for local artists to support each other; learn from each other; provide opportunities and generally work collaboratively with members and other local bodies to promote art and artists in Stroud.
The Cooperative is entirely run by members on a volunteer basis - All are welcome to suggest activities and events (providing you are also happy to help arrange them!). Some areas of the website are still under construction! But we hope that you enjoy looking through our artist pages! We are now up to 140 full members!
Latest News:
We already have some wonderful local artists' work up at Woodruffs Cafe in Stroud - and feature different artists each month! This month, it's artists Chris James and Patricia Goode!
We now have a Sculpture Zone - courtesy of Chris James and Stroud Brewery! You can see it from the tow path alongside the brewery - we have had quite some interest already :)
Our final exhibition is now over - what a success it was! nearly 1000 people through
the door - we are so very happy to have provided such an opportunity to our
members and they were brilliant!
So, now we start planning next year! Expect exhibitions through the year, starting in May.. and we have other ideas which we hope will also come to fruition in 2025.
Hope to see you at an art venue sometime soon ❤️
Some of our other events include an annual sketch out and paint retreat in the Gower; portrait painting workshop; Exhibitions; plus the ongoing Sunday Sketchers and Painters group. We have lots of ideas for workshops which we hope to arrange through the year...
