Malvern seems to attract and inspire artists. The Malvern art scene is a vibrant one, with nationally renowned artists from numerous fields.
Several artists are located within a community at The Fold in Bransford. You can visit them here and also eat at an excellent cafe which serves locally produced, organic food.
Three notable art galleries in the Malvern area feature local artists work, Blue Ginger in Stiffords Bridge, Iapatus gallery on Belle Vue Terrace at the top of Church Street in Great Malvern and, near Iapatus, Malvern Hills Gallery opposite the Unicorn Inn on Worcester Road in Great Malvern. The Malvern Hills Gallery is run by the Malvern Hills Art and Crafts Guild.
The individual artists of note in the area are so numerous and diverse, we can never hope to mention them all. Many local artists exhibit through the Malvern Hills Art and Crafts Guild and examples of their work can be seen on that website.
