For Devon Open Studios 2022, Artizan Collective are pleased to be working with Devon Artist Network to support Torbay Artists taking part in this year’s event. Following a successful event in 2021, Torbay partners are keen to continue the growth of this regionally significant arts event in the area, and the grants programme will play a vital role whilst there is still some uncertainty in the months ahead. We are able to offer 50% fee grants to up to 9 artists based in Torbay (“Torbay Grants”), and one full fee grant along with hosting at our venue for an artist that doesn’t have access to their own studio (“Artizan Gallery Grant”). About the Grant The grants are for any artist working from studios or living in Torbay. Beyond this geography, there are no conditions on entry and anyone is eligible to receive an award. The grants will provide a financial contribution to your fees as well as inclusion in a wide range of promotional support that Artizan will be undertaking to promote the event and studios in Torbay as a whole, including membership and presence on our website for the event. The one change this year, is that the grant can now be redeemed against group venues as well. Whilst the grant value will not change (50% of single studio fee) this can be applied to a group if you are one of the participating artists. Applying for a grant Applying for a grant is easy you simply need to complete two steps: You must have registered your interest in Devon Open Studios by emailing openstudios@devonartistnetwork.co.uk once applications open in January. Fill in the form on this page with the below details: Your Name A contact phone number Which grant you are applying for (“Torbay Grant” or “Artizan Gallery Grant”) If your grant will be applied to a solo studio or a group venue The address of your studio or if you are applying for the “Artizan Gallery Grant” the Torbay address you reside in Images of your work and practice Up to 500 words telling us about yourself and your work, in which you may also want to talk about how the grant and participating in Devon Open Studios will impact you.

Artizan Collective is pleased to support the Ambassador Theatre Group and Arts & Heritage in the delivery of an exciting artist commission to be intalled at Torbay's Princess Theatre. Funded by COVID relief investment from Arts Council England, the opportunity seeks an artist that will celebrate the Theatre's heritage and place at the heart of the cultural landscape in Torbay. The Commission Princess Theatre sits in a prominent position within Torquay, built as the main feature of the redevelopment of the Princess Gardens back in 1961 it opened to host the greatest entertainers of the time - the opening night featuring Tommy Cooper and Morecambe and Wise and including The Beatles in its long list of entertainers performing there. Though the programme has now changed to reflect the needs of contemporary audiences– the building still sits at the heart of Torquay, looking over Tor Bay to spectacular scenery, sunsets and views of the harbour. This commission is an opportunity for an artist to delve into the theatre’s history, engage with its communities and staff and extract the stories contained within its walls. It also presents an expanded opportunity for an artist to explore Torquay’s heritage.

The venue wants to be as open as possible about the themes and imagery an artist would like to explore. The commission is being planned for the walls, windows and/ or stairwell of the café bar/ restaurant. This could be on one of these or be throughout the spaces.

The Christmas decorations are twinkling their theatre magic, and the second TOADS Season play this year, is all set and ready to conjure up some festive fun. ‘Tis the season to be jolly and this classic play is certain to tick all the boxes. With a superb view of the stage from every seat in the 240-capacity auditorium, you won’t miss a trick during this classic production of The Ladykillers at TOADS Little Theatre. Mrs Wilberforce, a sweet little old lady, rents out a room in her lopsided house to Marcus, a professor of music. She is blissfully unaware he is actually a maniacal criminal who is putting together a gang of misfits who will stop at nothing to commit the heist of their careers. Chaos ensues! The play is based on the iconic Ealing Studios film first shown in 1955 with among others Alec Guinness, Herbert Lom and Peter Sellars in the cast. As always, the set and lighting at the theatre are impressive and professional. Director, Anna Reynolds, who is delighted with her cast, said ‘I directed this once before at The Little Theatre in 2008 and the committee has allowed me to have another go, much to my joy. And what a joy it’s been. I can honestly say that we have all laughed all the way through the rehearsals…a good sign I feel. This is an opportunity to introduce four new actors to our membership namely Nick Hewlett, Edd Williams and Eduardo Galeano, not to mention probably the star of the play, General Gordon the parrot, beautifully played by Collette Velarde.We all so thrilled to be back in the theatre as I’m sure you are. We’re determined to smile and carry on!’ Why not enjoy a relaxing drink in the bar, or coffee lounge which are both open from 6.30pm before this brilliant show begins at 7.30pm. Interval drinks and bar (only) open after the show. Parking is free! Monday 13th – Saturday 18th December 7.30pm Matinee Saturday 18th only 2.30pm. TOADS Theatre Company. The Little Theatre.

Due to the unfortunate cancellation of Ladies Day in October, Death Trap becomes the first season play to take to the Little Theatre Stage this year. Spookily, it was the first play cancelled when the first lockdown hit us. Now, the superb set is once again ready for the production to thrill the audience, and how welcome it will be. With a capacity to seat a 240-theatre audience each night, tickets are selling fast. The play centres on an unknown dramatist, Clifford Anderson, who has sent his new work to award-winning Broadway author Sidney Bruhl for comment – or has he? Sinister goings on ensue when Clifford plots to plagiarise Death Trap, or does the ‘Master’ have other ideas? Director, Jill Pettigrew says, ‘We are very pleased to have the opportunity to re-stage the thriller Death Trap following its closure in March last year due to the lockdown being imposed. Two of the cast Heidi Pyeburn and Ian Davies remain the same, but they are joined this time by familiar faces Martin Austin and Liz Lee. We also welcome highly regarded and experienced actor– Stephen Andrews – to Toads, in the lead role, Sidney Bruhl. After the roller coaster of the past 12 months, it’s been great to rehearse again and watch the set build take place.’ Written by Ira Levin in 1978, Death Trap has won many awards. It holds the record for the longest running comedy-thriller on Broadway, and has been nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best play. With its plot twists and comedy moments, this play is perfect for spicing up those cold November nights in Torbay. Enjoy your evening at Toads Little Theatre. Bar and coffee shop open from 6.30 pm. Free parking. Monday 15th – Saturday 20th November 7.30pm Matinee Saturday 20th only 2.30pm. TOADS Theatre Company. The Little Theatre. St Mark’s Road, Meadfoot, Torquay. TQ1 2EL.
