Lansdown Art Studios is home to a vibrant collective of more than 20 talented artists, all creators working across a diverse range of practices including painters, glass artists, printmakers, jewellery makers, sculptors and mosaicists.
As Cheltenham’s longest surviving studio space, Lansdown has become a cherished part of the town’s cultural fabric.
In addition to taking part in the popular nine-day biennial Cheltenham Open Studios, the studios welcome visitors to periodic public exhibitions as an art collective — offering a rare chance to meet the artists, explore their workspaces, and experience the creative energy behind the scenes.
As well as providing much needed and rarely available affordable studio spaces in a supportive and thriving environment for artists, Lansdown Art Studios purpose is to continue to create, exchange ideas and to network with other creatives in the local area.
Furthermore, as part of an updated constitution, the new CIC aims, where possible, to advance art education and work experience through a number of studio-based initiatives.
The studios support the wider arts community through membership of Cheltenham Arts Council, helping to build the nascent Cheltenham Arts Network, fostering relationships with other cultural bodies in the area and contributing to the Cheltenham art e-bulletin.
