A new permanent contemporary art gallery called Five Valleys Gallery is opening in Stroud this month. Located within the Home of Vintage in the Five Valleys Shopping Centre, it will feature a professionally curated selection of up to 36 artists, primarily from the local Stroud and Five Valleys area, as well as from Bristol, Bath, and London. The gallery's offerings include award-winning landscape painting, ceramics, glass, and sculpture.
The gallery's launch is significant as it represents a new, commercially viable platform designed to support regional artists with a permanent exhibition and sales space. Created by artists for artists, it aims to bolster sustainable creative practice in the area and enhance Stroud's existing cultural landscape by making high-quality contemporary work accessible to both collectors and the general public.
