Stroud Valleys ArtSpace
Stroud Valleys Artspace (SVA) was founded in 1997 with the aim of promoting and supporting the artists working in the area. Starting from humble beginnings, when volunteers helped to convert a disused town warehouse into artists studios, SVA has just moved back into its building in John Street, Stroud after completing a building refurbishment project by Tony Fretton. This unique contemporary arts resource will provide good quality space, facilities and support to a wide number of artists and the community. The challenge of this project is to present a public face to the Stroud Valleys Arts Centre and make it work urbanistically within Stroud without increasing public demand to access the building on a daily basis. It is not a typical public art venues in that it functions as a series of spaces for artitsts to develop their practice within the context of the wider local community through a programme of open studio events and workshops.
