Welcome

Gloucester Contemporary Artists CIC is a network of practising artists selling and exhibiting our art. Many of us also run workshops and courses to share our skills and experience. We  aspire to make Gloucester a respected centre for contemporary art.

Along the way we will create exhibition spaces and events,  and build an audience for visual arts in the city. Ultimately we are aiming to have an art centre for Gloucester that  celebrates local, regional, national and international excellence in the visual arts.

 

In August 2024 we held our first major event, Gloucester Open, an open studios and city-centre art trail.

Read our vision for the contemporary arts in Gloucester.

Imagine a place, let's call it The Gate - a major independent artspace sustained by multiple income  streams, an important hub to the community  and with a place on the national art scene that builds our reputation for excellence in contemporary art.  

The Gate is a place where people connect, learn and take part in activities that strengthen local bonds. It provides a welcoming space for all ages, helping to reduce social isolation.

 

The Gate strives to offer something for everyone.   More than just a building, The Gate offers inclusion, supports local initiatives and brings communities closer together. It finds the synergies between all the contemporary art forms. Together we are stronger.
