About This Event

Bath Artists’ Studios celebrates thirty years of creative practice with a special anniversary exhibition, opening at the Royal United Hospital on Friday 15 May 2026 at 9am. The show brings together work from a range of artists who have been part of the studios over the past three decades, offering a retrospective glimpse into the collective’s evolving output. The venue itself, a public hospital, provides an accessible and non-traditional setting for the display, inviting both patients, staff and visitors to engage with the art in an everyday environment. Entry is free, ensuring that the exhibition remains open to all members of the community. This milestone reflects the enduring vitality of the studios, which have long served as a hub for artistic exchange and development in Bath. By situating the exhibition within a healthcare setting, the organisers aim to broaden the reach of contemporary art, placing it directly in the path of those who might not ordinarily seek out a gallery. The show stands as a testament to the power of sustained creative collaboration and the value of making art visible beyond conventional spaces.
