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 childhood creativity to capturing Warwickshire’s wildlife, photographer Mark Godfrey shares how photography became his creative outlet, the impact of sight loss on his work, and why slowing down has transformed the way he sees the world.
For Mark Godfrey, photography is as much about observation as it is about expression. What began in his teenage years with film cameras has become a renewed passion in the digital age, where he seeks out fleeting street moments in bold colour or quiet black and white.
