SWAN HILL STUDIOS

Located in the heart of Shrewsbury, Swan Hill Studios is an independent, artist-led creative space dedicated to supporting artists, makers, and the wider community through exhibitions, residencies, workshops, mentoring, and wellbeing programmes. A place where creativity, conversation, and connection sit at the centre of everything we do, Swan Hill has become a home for both emerging and established artists, as well as those simply curious to step inside and experience the creative process up close.

​

Swan Hill Studios kicks off the summer programme on July 2nd with a special exhibition of work by multimedia artists Teresa McCann Clark and Karen Suskin. Rooted in the land, both artists draw deeply from the natural world, landscape, memory, and our relationship with place. Their practices, though distinct, are united by a deep sensitivity to material, process, and the human experience.

​

Alongside the exhibition, Swan Hill Studios launches its Summer Residency Programme, offering visitors a rare opportunity to step behind the scenes and experience artists at work in real time.

​

Beginning in the final week of July and running throughout August, each resident artist will take over the painting room for one week, opening their practice to the public while developing new work, sharing ideas, and, in some cases, presenting open studios and pop-up exhibitions.

​

This year’s resident artists are:

Amelia Robinson
Josi Bradshaw
Jasmine Sara
Jilly Hartshaw
Linda Brett

​

Visitors are invited to drop in, meet the artists, see works in progress, and gain an insight into the rhythms and realities of contemporary creative practice.

​

Open Monday–Friday | 10am–3pm
