The LSA is a charity that was founded in 1998 and is 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 are a friendly, open and supportive bunch of creatives who come together to expand and support the landscape of visual arts in Leamington Spa and surrounding areas.
We seek to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity. Our members range from people who make art simply for the joy of it, through to professionals who are making a living from using their artistic talent. We particularly welcome emerging artists, but being part of LSA can benefit artists at all stages of the development of their practice. New members are welcomed with open arms.
