In 2025, we will open the doors to a new public arts venue on Aumberry Gap in Loughborough, near Pinfold Gate. After seven years at Carillon Court Shopping Centre, Modern Painters, New Decorators we have now left our previous venue. The project was started in 2017 by artists and makers with a connection to the town. An exciting opportunity has come up for Modern Painters, New Decorators to relocate and expand. The new arts venue will include a public gallery and learning space, artist studios and micro-bakery.

Work is currently underway at the 195 SQM site. The building will open to the public in 2025 with a programme of free exhibitions, creative workshops, celebration events, open studios, craft markets and coffee mornings. Modern Painters, New Decorators will continue to work in partnership with community groups such as Art Club, which works with young people, the local school Limehurst Academy and the charity Love4Life.
