Gloucester Open is now closed
Gloucester Open showcased the work of local artists in their own studios and in selected City Centre venues.
Throughout August 2024, selected city centre venues exhibited work by Gloucester artists.
In addition many shops, banks and cafés in the city ‘adopted a local artist’ with a piece of their artwork displayed in the window.
In the last week of August, six Gloucester artist studios were open to visit with nine local artists showing their work.

Thank you to these city centre businesses for displaying a work by a Gloucester artist in their window throughout August.
