Our exhibitions programme is very important to Forest Arts. Not only do the artworks create a stimulating ever changing backdrop, they also add to the ambience of the centre. We hope you enjoy seeing all the different media and artists. You can also buy the art on display - we offer an attractive Arts Council England approved 0% credit loan scheme - making art more affordable. Please ask us about any of the artists or their work - we’re happy to help.
