Five Valleys Creative Network (5VC) is a newly formed visual arts community which supports, encourages, and promotes the arts in Stroud and surrounding communities. We welcome all artists, craftspeople, artisans, bohos, makers, art lovers and art supporters. You can join for FREE!

Our main aim is to help to raise the profiles of the many individuals beavering away in their workshops, studios and homes to create things… to express themselves, inspire, intrigue or challenge.

What we do

Staring with an active web site with an artist directory and events diary, we hope to create a community of members who will meet regularly and help our role to grow and develop. We are committed to encouraging and promoting creativity in the Stroud area and look forward expanding our activities in the future.
