COS25… It's a wrap!

A huge THANK YOU to every artist, maker & designer who was involved in this year’s event. Thank you to the COS Committee and to everyone who worked so hard to put it on, especially our venue hosts.

As an artist-led showcase of art being made locally there is nothing quite like it. For many, it remains a highlight on Cheltenham’s cultural calendar, as an invaluable way to meet artists, talk art, buy art direct and discover the creative spaces in which art is being made.

While we’re yet to go through the detail of the feedback, we have already heard some lovely stories of people reconnecting, discovering new makers, and learning new skills.

On that note…

To all the wonderful visitors who engaged with this year’s trail, THANK YOU! The event is designed to connect artists with art lovers. As such, it would be great to learn from your experience as a visitor, so we can continue to improve the event.
