“SVA first entered my awareness in a big way at 15, after which I immediately did everything I could to be involved in the fantastic programme of events they offer, including joining their youth arts collective, Mould. Reflecting now on the past 10+ years I find myself here once again, this time with a studio and taking part for the first time in the SITE Festival.
The calibre and density of Stroud’s art scene is unparalleled, and is at its most vibrant during the SITE Festival. Not limited to the heart of the town, all through the five valleys artists open up their spaces to the public and it becomes once again apparent that, from the farthest flung garden studio to the nearest spare room, we are surrounded by talent.
This is an opportunity to explore all of Stroud and its surroundings, to meet new people, to share ideas, to buy affordable art from the source…
