Background
Leamington Studio Artists started off as a group of 5 to 6 local artists that would meet regularly to discuss art over a few drinks in the local bars. That was five years ago. It now has over 200 members, a widely distributed arts journal called artspace and is now global with the launch of the LSA website! LSA is an official sponsor of Warwickshire Arts week 2002, 6th - 14th July. LSA is a pro-active organisation seeking to promote the Visual Arts in Leamington Spa and the surrounding area. Membership consists of both artists and supporters of the Visual Arts; this now stands at 215 members. LSA seeks to support any Visual Art of quality and merit.
The activities of LSA include:
Representing the Visual Arts in the current development of Leamingtons Cultural Quarter,
Promoting exhibitions and events for the public.
Establishing studio space for local artists. This was secured 3 years ago at North Hall, Spencers Yard in Leamington Spa. Currently 20 local artists are working from this space.
LSA has been publishing artspace for over four years, and its readership covers the UK and Europe.
