Stroud Valley Arts
Stroud Valleys Artspace is an artist-led initiative and non profit-making organisation whose aims are to establish and develop a practical, supportive framework in which artists can work without undue financial pressure. By raising the profile of artist and their work, we aim to achieve greater understanding, increased and active participation in the visual arts. SVA's main objectives are the provision of open access, low-cost artists workspace, an equipment resource and an artist's information and support network and the main areas of activity are:
Re.source
SVA has a developing information and I.T. equipment resource centre for artists within the region and artists working on Re.projects. There will be an emphasis on information technology skills training workshops, developing our county wide artist network data base and an international artists exchange programme
Re.projects
A multi-functional space in which the elements and ideas of contemporary art practice can be created and curated. see > Re.projects.org
The Hub Musicians Collective
