“My visit to the art gallery was nothing but breathtaking. One particular piece of work, literally, stopped me in my tracks. An amazing experience.”
75th Anniversary – Walsall Society of Artists Est. 8th December 1949
This December will mark our 75th Diamond Anniversary Annual Exhibition, the Walsall Society of Artists was founded by a group of like minded artists to champion the arts in Walsall and its community. We are still an artist run organisation promoting the artists and makers from our local area and neighbouring communities.

Many Artworks are available to buy please ask the Gallery Staff on Reception to secure your artwork.
