about sva
  sva (Stroud Valleys Artspace) was founded in 1997 with the aim of promoting and supporting the artists working in the area. Starting from humble beginnings, when volunteers helped to convert a disused town warehouse into artists studios, SVA has just moved back into its building in John Street, Stroud after completing the 2nd phase of the £1.5 million building refurbishment project.

This unique contemporary arts resource will provide good quality space, facilities and support to a wide number of artists and the community. The building has been designed by Tony Fretton Architects, whose back catalogue includes the Camden Art Centre, London; the Lisson Gallery, London; a house for Anish Kapoor and the British Embassy in Warsaw.
