Chapel Arts Studios is a small collective of contemporary artists who are based in the grounds of St. Marys church, Andover. This new conversion functions as a creative hub for the Andover region.
The conversion of the once-dormant chapel was managed by the Test Valley Arts Foundation, with the intention of supporting emerging artists, and providing outreach programmes for the Andover community.

Chapel Arts Studios want to support and encourage experimentation, practice and the exchange of ideas. The artists involved with the studios all share a common ground of flexible, process-based work, whether this is painting, video, sulpture, drawing or installation.

Alongside the development of the studio work, Chapel Arts is also committed to engagement with the wider community, and has begun to develop an exciting programme of workshops, education and events.

The studios were officially opened on October 2009, and has room for three artists. Two of these are for full-time inhabitants of the studio, and the remaining place is shared between recipients of the Chapel Arts Educational Project Residency on a rolling 6-month tenureship.

The current holder of this is new graduate Alessandra Cattaneo.
