Hello
Guernsey Art Network
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 marked 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!
Exhibitions
Ol’ Peels Place: If These Walls Could Talk
Guernsey Chamber of Commerce Rolling Exhibition
We are excited to announce that kicking off GAN’s first rolling exhibition at the Chamber of Commerce for 2026 is James Kail.
In a world where the polished replaces the aged, this exhibition invites us to slow down and reconnect with place, material, and memory. A nostalgic, universal space, the grubby local, the old farmhouse, the pub you first visited with your grandad. Where humanity leaves its mark, moment by moment.

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.
We have some fabulous solid gallery exhibition grade boards for hire, suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
Our boards can be rented for £400 per session which can be for the length of time of your choosing. If you would like to rent the boards for an extended period of time we can organise an arrangement.
If you are interested please get in touch through our socials or email us at gan@gan.org.gg
We are still looking for volunteers to join our charity to help and support local artists and the art community in Guernsey. If you are interested or would like to chat with one of our members about taking on a role within the network please get in touch!
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).
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!
