Our Story
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 and the surrounding areas.
The Cooperative is run entirely by members on a volunteer basis - All are welcome to suggest activities and events (providing you are also happy to help run 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 180 full members!
Sculpture Zone
Our Sculpture Zone is looking good out by Stroud Brewery. Go and have a look next time you visit the Brewery :)
En Plein Air
The Sunday morning "en plein air" group meet every week come rain or shine. They are often around Stroud - keep an eye out for them!
