The ArtsTrail Studios is a charitable, not-for-profit organisation with the objective of celebrate and promote contemporary art, so increasing the visibility of local artists and their art. Our mission is to provide creative opportunities for artists specialising in paint, print, photography, and sculpture to showcase and sell their work.
All aspects of our work are provided regardless of age, colour, creed, sexuality or disability. Our Studios offer an open door - the studios offer a location where the passing public can walk in to a friendly and open environment and meet local artists at work and see the work of many more. The studios also offer working spaces for artists at rents set on a non-profit basis, together with a gallery in which their work can be displayed.

Services
The Studios form the backbone of our activities, acting as an arts hub for the visual arts in the area, linking artists, art groups, community organisations and local businesses and institutions. This helps to develop a wide range of outlets for artists to display and sell their work, and at the same time responds to requests from local businesses and organisations for displays.
The Arts Fairs offer artists a cost-effective method of selling their artworks, whilst potential customers can browse a wide range of art without feeling pressured to buy. Our formula is quite simple, to run a series of lively art fairs in a relaxed and unstuffy environment with lots of good quality contemporary art.
Membership of ArtsTrail is open to everyone interested in the Arts, be they amateur or professional, artist or scientist, young or old. Quarterly Newsletter with exhibitions, Commissions, Funding Opportunities, Specialist Training and Art Jobs information nationwide. Volunteers make a huge difference to the work we are able to carry out to help Artists, and so they receive a discount on membership.
ArtsTrail is a non-profit organisation and we try very hard to keep the costs for our artists as low as possible. We therefore cannot afford lots of paid staff, and rely on volunteers to keep us going. If you have time to spare then please consider offering us your help. We have a definite requirement for any of the following skills.
Negotiation of the lease for the central Leamington location is nearly complete, and there will be another news announcement when this is signed off.
