Prema is a family friendly Arts Centre, promoting performance, live music and art exhibitions as well as accessible workshops, classes and creative experiences for kids and adults.
Prema, near Dursley in the Stroud valleys, offers an affordable day out for all folk in the South West.
We have three exhibition spaces at Prema - the glorious upstairs room (which is often used for shows, workshops and classes), the cafe gallery and the Crafts Council sponsored showcase.
Prema Arts Centre is open Wed-Sat 10.30am until 4pm and admission to all exhibitions is completely free. If you're making a special trip over to see any of our exhibitions do give us a tinkle on 01453 860703 just to check that all spaces are available for viewing for the time of your visit.
We're often open at weekends too although the upstairs gallery may not be accessible due to a workshop taking place within the gallery.

Rachel McDonnell
Free entry
Rachel McDonnell studied for her Fine Art Foundation at City and Guilds Art School, before a minor diversion to read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at St Anne’s College, Oxford, sparking various interests which still permeate her work (not so much with the economics). After graduating she returned to her first love: painting.
She is a member of the Walking the Land group of artists, and the RWA’s artist network. Rachel lives near Stroud with her partner and their two children, two dogs, two gerbils, three hens, 5 goldfish and 34 stick insects!

Chris Dye
Free entry
Originally from Yorkshire, Chris Dye moved to Bristol in 1985 and having completed a Foundation Art Course in the city went on to study Graphic Design at Salisbury College of Art.
He began painting watercolours in 2016 and has developed a strong recognisable style. He likes to use watercolours in a bold, powerful, dynamic way to create impressionistic scenes with a distinctive focus on capturing the light and atmosphere of the subjects. The primary focus of his work is everyday urban and rural landscapes from the Bristol area with a few from travels over the years thrown in.
