Efforts to forge and establish further links and partnerships with arts and community groups, educational establishments and businesses are on-going.

Sabre Art has organised and participated in events during Stroud Valley Artspace Site events and it is hoped GATO can expand communication with SVA.
Nathalie Vin, who is the artist responsible for projections onto Buckingham Palace and the Brighton Pavilion, also runs mosaic workshops. She is keen to work with the Gloucester Art Trail on future projects.
Pralay Lal is aiming to fund a touring exhibition to Gloucester in the future, as part of the Gloucester Art Trail.
GATO is actively seeking to establish contact and ongoing dialogue with artists and art groups in Gloucester’s ‘Twins’: St Ann’s, Metz and Trier (and has volunteer translators of French and German working on its behalf). GATO has already established good communication with Gouda artists, with a view to ongoing collaboration and networking.
Ongoing plans include mosaic workshops within the community to create public art by way of a mosaic trail in Barton St.

The Gloucester Art Trail Organisation (GATO) was set up to establish an annual visual arts festival in Gloucester UK and to promote local art events.   Back in May 2009 the 'The Joined Up Art Festival' was launched in Gloucester. We hope this early venture will one day lead to the establishment of an annual event for the city. In the meantime, this site will be used to announce art events happening in Gloucester and within the county;it will show images of art and craft from across the city and will help people to source artists and art organisations.
