An evening of discussion and inspiration: five of our artists explore the myriad ways that Devon shapes their creative practice.

From the tangible, physical environment and everyday experience, to the more emotional realms of memory and feeling, and the magic of the imagination. What is it about Devon that draws so many artists here, and inspires so much creativity?

We invite five of our exhibiting artists, to share how Devon has influenced their art. Working across a wide range of subjects, materials and practices, each bring their own perspective on what it means to be inspired by this place.

Refreshments

A bar will be open throughout the evening, serving a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, alongside delicious mini savoury tarts handmade on-site by Spoonful of Plenty.
