On a mission to create a permanent art centre for Gloucester
GCA aspires to make Gloucester a respected centre for contemporary art. Along the way we will create exhibition spaces and events, and build an audience for visual arts in the city. Ultimately we are aiming to have an art centre for Gloucester that celebrates local, regional, national and international excellence in the visual arts.
