The Stroud Artists Cooperative was set up in 2021 and its first event was the outdoor Stroud Art Fair with over 40 artists participating. Its aim is to provide an inclusive 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 run on a volunteer basis and now has 180 members. ‘Park Life’ will be the culmination of a year long project looking at and capturing aspects of life and activities in our local parks, including the much-loved grounds of Stratford Park. The exhibition will be accompanied by workshops, demos and meet the artist sessions.

Admission free, donations welcome, works for sale.
