Monica Grose-Hodge is holding a new exhibition - 'The Rag-Garden Stories' - this winter at the Guild. You can view the exhibition by appointment - contact gemma@artworkersguild.org to arrange a visit.

A big thank you to our Creative Connections cohort of 2023-24! Across the last year this group of emerging makers, and the dedicated Guild members who make up the steering group, have built a wonderful support network and made the first year of this initiative a big success!

Last week, Jiro Osuga visited the Guild to give a talk to our members. Jiro paints anything that he experiences, from airport terminals to snails. He is often the protagonist in his own work, acting out with gentle self-deprecation the tragicomedy of an artist’s life.
