This will include a range of exhibition bursaries, from full 100% fee bursaries across all of our spaces, to online curated showcases with our partners at Artsy.net There are up to 30 opportunities available for solo, group and virtual shows and this will be the primary route through which we programme for the year ahead. There is a small fee for the chance to be in with winning a bursary show, all proceeds from which go toward continuing our work to deliver opportunities for artists in the South West.

Following last year’s successful Devon Open Studios, I will again be teaming up with sculptor Anne-Marie Moss to present a stunning show of art. We are looking forward to meeting visitors to Venue 140 at Hanging Gate, Holne, which enjoys an idyllic setting on the edge of Dartmoor. Here they will be able to enjoy Anne-Marie’s art trail of her emotive and powerful stone carvings in a garden setting and they are then invited to browse in my garden studio where, amongst other works, some of my new paintings, created during lockdown, will be on show. Dartmoor landscapes, seascapes and abstracts, in oils, acrylics and mixed media will be the focus of the exhibition. #rosemarybonney #devonopenstudios21 #dos21 #sculpture #darmtoorlandscapes

I am delighted to say that following my submission to the 68th Bruton Art Society Annual Exhibition that I was successful and will have work displayed. I am particularly pleased as this is the first time that I have applied to take part in this well established show I have had three images accepted all of which are new works, and which will be being shown for the first time in a physical exhibition. There will be lots of unframed works also available to view and purchase. This year the society will be showing work from new members such as myself as well as fresh work from popular artists who have exhibited with them for many years. With around 300 works on display from 120 artists, this promises to be an exciting, entertaining, and outstanding exhibition. The exhibition runs for just one week from 21st – 28th August and if you cannot visit in person, it is available to view online when the exhibition opens. Venue: King's Hall Memorial Hall, Bruton, Somerset, BA10 )ED Free entry and free parking #jennysmy #contemporaryart #exhibition

Anna Grayson originally read Geology at the University of St Andrews. It is an observational science and it was the aesthetics of the subject that drew her into it - the natural sculptures of fossils, crystals and landforms. After a great deal of hard graft however, she could not get a decent job as a geologist because of her gender, despite attending interviews dressed as a man... Instead, she spent the bulk of her career working for the BBC, eventually becoming a presenter, mainly of science programmes including several dozen about geology. She won the Glaxo Welcome/ABSW award in 1999 for series of short films about British Geology and was also awarded the RH Worth Prize from the RA’s neighbours in Burlington House, the Geological Society. In 2012, Anna took early retirement, fulfilled a life long secret ambition of going to Art School - Exeter School of Art - and has never looked back. By 2014 her work had been highly commended by the South West Academy and she had her first piece hung in the RA Summer Exhibition where it became partially obscured by red dots. This was her remake of the Arnolfini Portrait, and Anna went on to produce a whole collection of famous works of art re-imagined and updated as photographs. In 2018 two of her photographs were chosen by Grayson Perry to hang in his famous Yellow Room in the 250th anniversary RA Summer Exhibition. She has exhibited regularly with the South West Academy (and the Artizan Gallery & Words and Pictures in Devon) and has recently had a major solo show in the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter. Still Life with Fossil Seafood was made as a response to Dutch still life paintings in the Wallace Collection, the National Gallery and in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. But it is more than that, as this picture has effectively been a whole lifetime in the making. Anna collected many of the specimens herself extracting them from the rock with bare hands and a geological hammer. Anna’s Mother once asked if ammonites would have been “nice to eat”, and yes they probably would. This thought lingered and the idea grew of replacing the wheels of cheese in a Dutch still life with ammonites, the red lobster with a grey fossil lobster, the glistening cut lemon with a Scottish agate, and the silverware vessels with geodes. Also one of the main themes of the classic still life is the memento mori - that reminder of the fate that awaits us all, that we’re all gonna die. The planet could die too (at least another mass extinction is on the way).You can’t really get more dead than a fossil, can you? #RoyalAcademy2021 #AnnaGrayson #ArtizanGallery #EnglishRiviera
