“We’re pleased support GAS Projects to platform artwork created by and for the local community. Gloucester is important to us as an Arts Council Priority Place and I’m excited to see these meanwhile spaces draw new audiences to the high street, sparking conversations between artists and residents about the value of in‑person connection and platforms that showcase creativity.”
