We opened the doors to the Artery Studios CIC in September 2022 under two converted railway arches in the heart of the city. We wanted to provide affordable art space for artists in Worcester and get the community creating together. We started to fill our studios with artists and a couple of months later our gallery was open and workshops were in full swing.

We were seeing people connecting in our space, making friends and artists working together. It was beautiful and we've not looked back since.

The Artery isn't ours. Its theirs, it's yours. It's everyone's. It's more than a place, we're a community, a safe house and a creative hot spot in a city that is starting to show its true personality.

We've worked with hundreds of local artists and seen thousands of visitors of all ages and backgrounds attending workshops, visiting exhibitions and taking part in community events.

Worcester is packed full of amazing creative talent and we're lucky enough to see the very best of it, to be part of it. to encourage and support it.

We continue to grow everyday, providing more opportunities for artists to show, create and sell their work. To collaborate with each other, learn and share their expertise. February 2026 sees the launch of our brand new pop-up creative space in Arch 64.

We're excited for the future but it is also uncertain.
