Overview
Delamore
Delamore arts is an annual month-long exhibition that has been running successfully for just over 20 years. It attracts artists and visitors from across the UK with all works selected by a panel of judges to ensure and maintain a high standard of work. Whilst its focus initially was on sculptural works that are placed within the grounds and the house, 2D works have become an important part of the offer and adorn the walls in the main house salon style to compliment a supporting collection of interior 3D works.
Delamore regularly sees repeat visitors for whom this event is part of their arts calendar and many of those visitors come with the intent to buy. There is a café on site so most visitors will spend several hours and fully explore all that is on offer. Proceeds from the exhibition support a designated charity that is selected each year by Delamore.
Artizan
For the month of May, we move to Delamore Estate and support this fantastic annual showcase with our own curated offer. Contemporary British Printmakers and The Kiln Room will provide two unique exhibition additions to this year’s programme, with the rest of the courtyard spaces being used to develop new programming offers including workshops, demonstrations and maker takeovers.
The Old Workshop 2025 Offer
The Old Workshop is a new offering that will sit alongside the second year of Contemporary British Printmakers and follows on from the success and popularity of demonstrations and ‘have a go’ sessions that were run as part of this during 2024.
Now with a dedicated separate space for such activity, we are hoping to curate a mix of half day, whole day, multi day, and drop-in activity across the full month, for audiences to get involved with, and we are seeking proposals from artists and groups to deliver to a captive arts audience.
