Guernsey Art Network (GAN) is a Registered Charity, (CH555) set up by volunteers who are all locally based artists. Our Patron is The Lieutenant-Governor - Lieutenant General Sir Richard Cripwell CB, CBE

We aim to help promote artists who live and work in Guernsey and the Bailiwick, making art accessible to everyone. We do this by organising exhibitions, workshops, talks, pop up shops and much more.

If you are an artist in the Bailiwick and would like an artist profile page, please get in touch.

10 Years of GAN

2025 marks a decade of Guernsey Art Network!

Our celebration party was opened by our patron His Excellency Sir Richard Cripwell and Chair Athene Sholl. Arts Practitioner Marcel Lenormand was on hand to give His Excellency a demo of the trolley and it was great to see a mix of committee members past and present in attendance. It reminds us of the importance of what we do - which is bringing artists together.

Thanks to all who came to join us in marking the occasion.

Here's to the next 10 years!

Upcoming Exhibition

James Kail artwork 1

Jan-Mar 2026 - James Kail

Guernsey Chamber of Commerce Rolling Exhibition

Monday - Friday 9am-4pm

We're looking forward to featuring James Kail as the next artist in our rolling exhibition at the Guernsey Chamber of Commerce Headquarters.

James' chosen medium is often collage, as well as experimenting with mixed media. He enjoys using found objects with a combination of techniques to layer and obscure narratives using the power of texture and materials.

The Creativity Trolley

The trolley is a mobile arts initiative within the PEH. Working in collaboration with the States of Guernsey Health and Social Care (HSC) Arts + Health programme, we deliver inclusive high quality arts experiences that support patients, their families visitors, and staff - bringing the healing power of creativity into healthcare and daily life. Trained Arts practitioners and trained volunteers visit the wards with our Creativity Trolley.

Pride of Guernsey Nomination

We’re thrilled to announce that the Creativity Trolley has been nominated for the Arts Contribution Award in the Pride of Guernsey Awards!

Launched in May 2024 and administered by Guernsey Art Network (GAN), this mobile arts initiative brings uplifting creative engagement directly to patients and staff at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital. From watercolour painting and sketching to stop frame animation and more, the Creativity Trolley offers vital emotional support and joyful distraction during challenging times.

This collaborative project—between Guernsey Art Network and Health & Social Care—has already reached a huge amount of patients, staff and visitors across numerous wards and departments, bringing the powerful impact of the arts to the bedside.

Special thanks to the Social Investment Fund for their generous funding, and to the States of Guernsey (HSC) for their continued collaboration and support in making this initiative possible. Huge appreciation to the dedicated team behind the Trolley, and to everyone who makes this work so meaningful.

Want to Host a Skillshare Session?

If you are interested in running your own workshop we would love to hear from you. Any type of creative practice goes - knitting, painting, drawing, sculpture, abstraction, realism the list goes on! We cannot keep running these amazing workshops without Artists to facilitate them (and the wonderful attendees).

The artists running the events are paid for their time and costs of materials are covered.

Even if you’re interested but have some questions before committing, feel free to email gan@gan.org.gg and we can discuss further. Ultimately, Artists, GAN needs you!
