Since October 2022, the LSA Art Room Gallery has become a vibrant second home for art lovers in the heart of Leamington Spa.
Just step off Regent Street and discover this welcoming art haven in the Lower Mall Royal Priors. The Art Room is a spacious, airy atmosphere that invites you to explore and engage with art in a relaxed setting. We now also host workshops in the next door Springboard Studios.
Each month, we have a new themed exhibition that brings together a curated selection of works from talented local artists, offering a fresh perspective on the local art scene.
We also feature a new resident artist each month, providing you with a unique opportunity to witness the development of their work throughout their residency, allowing you to observe their techniques and gain insights into their artistic journeys as well as a unique glimpse into their creative process.
If you are a member and want to become a resident artist please contact the Art Room Manager or visit the Art Room.

From treasured childhood paint boxes to inspiring encounters with artists such as Howard Hodgkin, Cézanne and Picasso, Sue’s creative journey is one of curiosity, experimentation and lifelong learning. Discover how travel, gallery visits and a passion for intuitive mark-making continue to shape her work—and why the greatest thrill of all is seeing a painting find its new home.
From schoolday sketches to expressive watercolour landscapes, Nina French’s creative journey has been shaped by a lifelong love of painting, dramatic scenery and the unpredictable beauty of watercolour. Inspired by rolling hills, turquoise seas and atmospheric skies, her work captures mood, memory and a deep connection to place.
Lorna Ashworth’s artistic journey offers a deeper understanding of her work. Rooted in giving overlooked materials new life, she draws inspiration from recycled tins—their colours, patterns, and hidden histories. Trained in jewellery at the Kent Institute of Art and Design, she shapes these humble containers into organic forms, transforming the ordinary into intimate, wearable art.
