The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum
The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum is a welcoming social and cultural arts space where everyone can discover, learn and enjoy.
The Wilson presents a changing and varied contemporary art exhibition programme and historic collections galleries. It includes a dedicated co-curated space led by a Creative Communities panel to present and develop projects with our local communities in Cheltenham and Gloucestershire. In addition, the Wilson is home to a major catalyst programme for early career artists including 10 studios and a facilitated fellowship programme, innovative learning and events activities based in our Foyle Learning Studio, an Open Archive and Study space and a café social space which features our art collections, and which is by our sustainability values.
The Wilson’s Collections are richly diverse from Old Masters to world cultures to a social history collection which tells the story of Cheltenham and the surrounding Cotswolds area from the Bronze Age. A dedicated gallery houses the Arts and Crafts Movement Collection, a Designated Collection of national importance. The Art Collection includes painting and sculpture spanning four centuries, costume and textiles, decorative and applied art.
