Welcome to the Gloucester Contemporary Artists - we are a network of practising artists with the ambition of making Gloucester a respected centre for contemporary arts.

Are you a practising artist creating original work, and do you share our aims?

Join us...
Membership principles

To join the GCA membership there are no requirements for artists to be living or working within the Gloucester region.

 

Every member is expected to contribute in some way to support our shared aims and objectives by making contributions of their skills, experience and time, and to be able to attend group meetings as and when possible.

​

We welcome applications for membership from practising contemporary artists who seek to excel in making original work. Applicants are expected to provide evidence of this by way of links to their website or social media. Additionally, applications from emerging artists and recent fine art graduates are both welcomed and supported.

​

We do not select members by screening their work at the application stage, but applicants are asked to self-evaluate their fit within the membership based on these principles before completing the application and paying their subscription.

​

​​Membership of GCA is £40 a year.

 

(Note - We do select members' work for inclusion within GCA, and GCA partnered exhibitions, subject to availability of space and to ensure consistent quality, value and appropriateness for the event.)

Our main online conversation with our members is on our WhatsApp Community. This is where you will find announcements, opportunities, and a place to talk with other members. Meeting announcements, agendas and minutes will also be sent by email.​

​

If you have any questions write to contact@gloucestercontemporaryartists.art

The benefits of membership

As a Member of GCA you will be part of an artist-led community interest company dedicated to establishing Gloucester as a respected centre for contemporary arts.

 

The Steering Committee is working hard to provide exhibition opportunities in the city in terms of events, pop-up galleries and collaborations with other city arts and cultural organisations as we work towards our ambition of providing an art centre in the city.

​​

Our members, and their activities, are promoted on our website (gloucestercontemporaryartists.art) and on our Instagram and Facebook pages.

​

Through our WhatsApp Community you can join the conversations where members hear announcements, collaborate and  share art news and opportunities.

​

We have regular meetings where members can contribute their ideas, and hear the latest news and artist talks.

We are a network of artists who seek to excel in their arts and to establish Gloucester as a respected centre for contemporary art.
