Modern Painters, New Decorators is an artist-led organisation based in Loughborough, East Midlands, UK, operating a purpose-built gallery, project space, artist studios, shop, and creative kitchen.

We believe artists play a vital role in shaping the places we live and the stories we share. Through exhibitions, workshops, events, and collaborative projects, we foster creativity, community, and long-term support for artists and ideas.
