LSA is a charity dedicated to supporting artists in the local area. Our aim is to foster and increase public interest, awareness and appreciation of the visual arts. We depend on members’ subscriptions to be able to continue this work. Membership costs £25 per year (£15 for students in full-time education).

In return, members have opportunities to exhibit and sell their work, enter competitions, attend exclusive events, and get together with fellow artists to network, share experiences and inspire each other. Our East Lodge Gallery in Jephson Gardens contains two exhibition spaces and four artists’ studios available exclusively to members to rent at affordable prices.

Members also get a listing in the members’ directory on this website. You can add a short bio, website link, social links and up to 6 photos of your work to your listing.
