A UNIQUE collaborative exhibition is showing in Stroud this week.

Entitled Staff Only, it features the work of 25 artists, many of whom work full-time in the creative industries in the Five Valleys.

The nature of the contributors’ day jobs means they have been able to hone their skills as artists and enjoy sharing their expertise.

Exhibiting together for the first time, this show is as diverse as the people exhibiting – representing different nationalities, techniques, and life experiences.

The result is an eclectic mix of art – abstract and figurative painting, drawing, taxidermy, installation, graffiti, sculptural work and ceramics.

The collection is showing at 20 Stroud High Street, until Sunday.

To close the show, there will be a Staff Only after party at SVA, John Street, on Saturday night, 9pm to 2am, with music from Mr Mulatto (Situation Sounds), Dave Murray and psychedelic rock band Swedish Fish.
