Support Cheltenham Open Studios – Help us make more noise!

Cheltenham Open Studios is a not-for-profit, artist-led organisation dedicated to championing visual arts across Cheltenham and the surrounding area.

Our biennial Art Trail is largely self-funded, and we work hard to keep taking part affordable while reaching as wide an audience as possible.

Your support helps us promote local creativity, connect artists with new audiences and keep the Cheltenham Open Studios Art Trail accessible to everyone.

There are several ways you can help.
