Welcome to Outside In an exhibition celebrating the extraordinary creativity of The Great Torre Abbey Paint Out. This exhibition documents a shared public response to our town’s landscapes and heritage, drawing together community pieces from the Mass Paint Out, professional works from the Artist Trail, and the outstanding submissions from Torbay’s first Plein Air Art Competition. Across the 5th & 6th of September, the Paint Out celebrated the culmination of the National Gallery’s Art on Your Doorstep. On Saturday, the Artist Trail invited visitors to watch ten professional practitioners capture familiar surroundings in real time from Torre Abbey to Torquay Pavilion. By Sunday, the creative energy shifted to Torre Abbey, transforming the historic grounds into a vibrant studio where participants of all ages and abilities painted together in a joyous Mass Paint Out. The weekend also challenged creatives to capture the environment against the clock. We are incredibly proud to showcase the talent of all who took part, and extend congratulations to our prize winners: Overall Winner, Gabrielle Peckham; Silver Winner, Susan Rooney; Bronze Winner, Mark Bell; and Youth Winner, Frankie Gaughan. Thank you to everyone who made the event possible: Torbay Council, the National Gallery, the Friends of Torre Abbey, The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England. And to our sponsors: Great Western Railway, Twigger Business Solutions and Otto Bar & Restaurant. The Great Torre Abbey Paint Out was proudly produced by Artizan Collective, Torre Abbey and Torquay Pavilion Creative Engagement Group. Torre Abbey Opening Times: Wednesday - Sunday 10 am - 5 pm

Bringing together an eclectic collection of art gathered over many years by Rowcroft Hospice, this fundraising exhibition unites these works alongside contributions from Artizan Collective's own archives to support the charity. Rowcroft Hospice provides comfort, support, and specialist care to patients and families living with life-limiting illnesses across South Devon. To support their essential work, proceeds from artwork sales throughout the exhibition will be donated directly to Rowcroft Hospice, with Artizan Collective hosting and stewarding the exhibition free of charge to ensure maximum benefit for the charity. Featuring a diverse selection of paintings, prints, and original works, the exhibition invites you to discover hidden gems and support a vital local cause. As an exclusive feature of the launch evening, we will be hosting a silent auction for the artwork, "Brave Soul." With a reserve price set at £600, we invite attendees to bid and help us raise as much as possible for the hospice on the night. Join us for the launch on Saturday, 7th November, 18:00–20:00 (free admission), or visit the exhibition from 8th November through to Christmas Eve. Wednesday - Sunday 10 am - 4 pm Final Week: 21st - 23rd 10 am - 4 pm 24th 10 am - 1 pm
