About us

Visual Arts Cheshire (VAC) is a Northwich based arts organisation and Comunity Interest company.   

Our aim is to promote visual arts in Northwich through a variety of initiatives and events including exhibitions and workshops.

We are currently based inside Northwich Market Hall on Apple Market Street, following our three year residency at Barons Quay. We have previously held exhibitions at the iconic Weaver Hall Museum, the Plaza cinema/bingo hall  (closed in 2011). 

We continue to plan further events. We run the summer Art Trail and produce the Northwich Calendar each year. In 2018 we introduced the Children’s Art Trail which is now a regular annual feature.
