We support the professional development of emerging artists based in Cheltenham and Gloucestershire through our artist studio programme. An opportunity to apply for a studio at The Wilson provides artists with the time and space to help develop their practice, to enable it to thrive in new ways in the future. 

The Wilson’s new Community Partnership Programme is designed to support and amplify the incredible work of local community groups, providing them with the resources and space they need to thrive while enriching The Wilson and the wider community with their unique contributions.

These monthly late-night events provide a platform for artists and communities to showcase their talent and creativity. The events are designed to provide a safe and supportive space for local artists and creative community groups to test out new work and grow their audiences.

Taking you behind the scenes of one of Cheltenham’s cultural hotspots, our Podcast provides an insider’s look into what makes The Wilson tick. Each episode will reveal something new about our collection and the people of the town.

The Creative Community Panel is a group of dedicated local artists and community leaders who help to ensure the activity we deliver is dynamic, relevant, inclusive, and involves the widest possible range to make our events and exhibitions accessible to everyone in the community.
