FIVE VALLEYS GALLERY
Our Mission
Five Valleys Gallery celebrates the rich variety of artistic talent across the Five Valleys and beyond. Our mission is to create a vibrant, welcoming space where visitors can discover handmade work, connect with artists, and enjoy creativity in all its forms. Our collective brings together painters, sculptors, glassmakers, urban sketchers, jewellers, collage artists and printmakers. Inclusivity is central to our vision, and we aim to nurture a gallery that reflects and supports a broad, diverse community of artists.

Due to sales volume in the first six months and the number of new applicants we expanded into a second unit. This unit enables visitors to be quickly emerged into the work on show.

February 2026 Opening Night.
Private opening in February 2026, Five Valleys Art Gallery emerged from a passion for art and community. This is the largest permanent Stroud art gallery, catering for over 40 local artists. We intend to grow our collective of artists to become a respected gallery known for its unique exhibitions and supportive environment for local talent.
February 2026
With so many artists and creatives living in and around Stroud the search for a permanent gallery has been ongoing for some years. The model to run a gallery as a collective not only benefits the local community in terms of access to so many talented artists but this concept enables artists of varying situations to participate and sell their work. Finally the availiablity of space at the Five Valleys Shopping centre has provided an ideal location.
