artist groups

Raven Studios is working to link the many and varied arts organisations and artist groups in Shrewsbury and Shropshire, and to provide a place where they can be listed, alongside our Artscape map of visual arts venues in the county.

The organisations below are artist groups that come together to put on joint exhibitions, etc, based on areas of Shropshire but with no fixed venue.

  • Borderland Visual Arts, Oswestry. The group holds an annual Open Studios and Art Trail on the second and third weekends in June and has regular exhibitions in The Willow Gallery in Oswestry. There is also a permanent exhibition space in the Oswestry Library where they display their work. www.borderlandvisualarts.com

A Disability Visual Arts organisation whose mission is to develop Disability Arts practice by creating opportunities for Disabled artists to develop their creative practice. These opportunities take many forms, from high quality commissions to community based workshops. https://www.dasharts.org/
