New art gallery to open in Stroud’s Five Valleys centre

Five Valleys Gallery, located within the Five Valleys Shopping Centre, will showcase the work of up to 36 artists from Stroud and the Five Valleys, alongside contributors from Bristol, Bath, and London.

Chris James, founder of Five Valleys Gallery, said: “We wanted to create a gallery that gives artists a more permanent exhibition space — visible, professional, and commercially viable.

“It’s about building something exciting and creating a strong platform for high-quality work in the region.”

Among the artists featured are landscape painters who have appeared on Landscape Artist of the Year.

The gallery aims to appeal to both seasoned collectors and the wider public by offering a diverse and visually engaging exhibition space.

Opening in the Home of Vintage area of the shopping centre, the gallery is scheduled to open in early February.
