From 28 January to 23 February, Torre Abbey hosts the concluding showcase of The Great Paignton Paint Out—an outdoor art extravaganza held in September 2023 that saw professional artists, locals, and visitors celebrate Paignton’s heritage through the spirit of plein air creativity. This final showcase marks the third in a series of legacy exhibitions celebrating the creativity and heritage sparked by The Great Paignton Paint Out. Over the course of these exhibitions, visitors have encountered newly commissioned works by professional trail artists, a range of community artworks that capture Paignton’s everyday charm, and “tools of the trade” reflecting the hands-on spirit of plein air painting. Now, at Torre Abbey, these elements are presented alongside the Abbey’s own collections, offering a fresh lens through which to explore Torbay’s rich cultural legacy and the dynamic interplay between art and place. Supporting heritage items provided by the Paignton Heritage Society further illuminate the buildings and landmarks that inspired the artworks, fostering a deeper understanding of the town’s unique history. By witnessing Paignton’s story unfold through creative expression—and seeing how outdoor art can enliven a community—visitors are invited to reflect on how art transforms our connection to local spaces. This exhibition stands as a testament to the enduring impact of collaborative creativity, reminding us that shared artistic experiences can inspire pride, spark new friendships, and leave a lasting legacy long after the final brushstroke is laid down. For this final exhibition we have also taken the opportunity to shine the spotlight on the wider Torbay with additional works being included that demonstrate what a truly special place Torbay is.
