BrushStroke Festival of Art

SAS Brushstrokes Exhibition is back!

Saturday 14th March – Saturday 21st March, Sudbury

In March a very special Brushstrokes 2026 was held at the Sudbury Arts Centre, featuring art by our own members together with a number of local artists which raised over a staggering £20k.

Andy Walsh, the Sudbury Mayor, was welcomed during our Member’s coffee morning. The following day we were fortunate to have Frances Christie of Sotheby’s to come and give a fascinating talk about the Value of Art at the well-attended lunch.

At the preview evening, our new Chairman, Edward Mason thanked Lizzie Alston and the Brushstrokes Committee for working so hard with collating and setting up the artist’s work and excelling with this year’s wonderful exhibition.

Members Leaflet

An active and motivated self-help support charity where the members are helped in their efforts towards rehabilitation, independence and confidence building.

The charity was founded in 2000 and has 60 members at any one time. The charity is run by trustees, therapists and volunteers with two part-time staff.

The year is split into three terms. We have a member’s committee which gives the members an opportunity to share ideas and have a say in what the charity provides.

A carer’s support group meets regularly at the Stevenson Centre.
There are also outings organised each term to include sailing, and trips to pubs, theatres, gardens and other places of interest.
