We are pleased to announce that Common Ground is now open at The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum! Curated by painter and folklorist Ben Edge, this exhibition invites you to explore layered narratives of change, loss, rebellion, and reclamation rooted in local common land and the natural environment of Cheltenham and the Cotswolds.

More than a conventional art exhibition, Common Ground offers an immersive journey into the heart of our community and the landscapes that define it. Featuring a carefully selected array of objects from The Wilson’s collections alongside contemporary artworks and large-scale installations, the show examines the historical, industrial, and cultural forces that have shaped our connection to shared spaces. As you move through the exhibition, you’ll encounter works that challenge your perspective on environmental impact and reflect on how movement and community continually redefine our sense of place.

Step into The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum and experience art that mirrors our past, informs our present, and inspires visions for the future. For more details on the exhibition and upcoming events, please visit our website: https://www.cheltenhammuseum.org.uk/event/common-ground
