English Riviera Winter Open Our annual Winter Open is back and we're looking forward to Christmas on the English Riviera as we celebrate 6 years at our High Street Venue and plan for 2026 As ever, our Winter Open marks a joyful close to the year - bringing together exceptional original art, festive cheer, and a warm welcome for both visitors and locals. This much-loved exhibition has become a fixture of the season, a trusted stop on the Christmas shopping trail for art lovers across the Bay. Something for our visitors and participating artists: Preview Prize Draw: One lucky attendee to the artist preview launch event will receive a £150.00 voucher to spend at the exhibition, and we'll be offering additional incentives to our newsletter subscribers throughout the exhibition. £250.00 English Riviera Open Award for Artists! This award is selected by a guest judge for their favourite work in the show, and this year that artist will walk away with a £250.00 cash prize. About the Exhibition If you've exhibited in our open exhibitions before you know the drill, but for newcomers our annual, seasonal opens are the biggest, and most ambitious visual arts showcases in South Devon, as we turn the walls of our High Street gallery into a tapestry of original art from creatives all over the country. The exhibition is selective but open to all, with our values for the showcase being: Diversity and Variety  - we take a range of traditional and contemporary practice, selecting works that result in a showcase rich in media, subject and style; Originality and Innovation  - this isn't an exhibition that just "plays it safe", we love traditional work, but equally we want to share work with audiences that they may not find anywhere else; Quality and Talent  - we select the best to create a showcase for our audience where they can guarantee they'll be taking away collectible, original work that can't be found anywhere else. All proceeds from sales support our work and we will be sharing updates of plans and projects for 2026 during the exhibition. There are some exciting times ahead as art and culture in the Bay continues to thrive. Submission Deadline:  26th October, Midnight We can’t wait to see your submissions!

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 provide two unique exhibition additions, with demonstrations, drop-in activities and the Maker Takeovers, creating a lively and engaging programme.

The Space Part of the old stable courtyard, The Stalls, once a stable, has been sensitively adapted to retain its original charm whilst creating 4 functional pods in the original stalls. The room still features original metal work, panelling and stone floor with large wood burner that will keep participants and audiences toasty during their visits. The stall pods all have electricity supplies and a hanging system for display setup, with additional lighting installed to make this a bright and welcoming space. The original cobble floor is uneven and we’ll be providing supplies of wood packing to assist with levelling installs.

This is a selective call that will appoint a maximum of 25 artists who represent a broad spectrum of the printmaking practice. 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 takes over one of the two stable block galleries, a charming white walled stable conversion set in a small courtyard with other neighbouring arts offers. This will be our third year collaborating with Delamore after successful showcases in 2024 and 2025 which introduced audiences to a full spectrum of the medium including everything from mezzotint to mokulito to monotype. Once again, we’ll also be looking to expand the popular programme of demonstrations and “have a go” sessions that we ran. Offer We are offering the opportunity to participate in a fully curated and marketed printmakers exhibition, hosted by Delamore Arts and produced by Artizan Collective CIC. We will be seeking some assistance with stewarding in 2026 for those artists who are located within a reasonable geographical distance of the venue (50 miles). Exceptions may be made, and if you anticipate you may want to opt-out of stewarding you should indicate this on your expression of interest Summary Exhibition of 4 framed works and 3 browser works  at Delamore Sculpture and Arts Trail 2026 Presence in Delamore Collectors Catalogue Profile page on Delamore website Profile page on Artizan website Feature on exhibition hub page Exhibiting and Space Exhibiting Offer Artists are initially asked to submit an expression of interest showcasing their portfolio via their online presence or alternatively via a portfolio document (PDF, video, doc etc.) Successful artists will then be asked to submit up to 6 framed works  (maximum 80x80cm inclusive of framing) for selection from which we commit to select at least 2 to hang  and 2 to hold in reserve  (i.e. provision of 4 framed pieces). Artists will also be able to provide up to 3 browser works  for display which should differ from the 4 selected/reserved works (i.e. 7 unique works in total across framed and browser work). If you primarily produce small/miniature work (less than 30x30cm) we may select up to the full 6 works for display/reserve at our discretion. Across these works, artists will also be able to provide as many editions of the print run as they wish to make available for immediate purchase as part of the event, with Artizan also taking orders up to the maximum number of the edition still available. The Space The space that we’ll be using sits within the Delamore grounds and forms part of the stable block. It is an adapted space, with white walls and original beams, well-lit and characterful. Images of last year’s exhibition are below. Stewarding and Demonstrations Artizan will fully curate the exhibition but for 2026 we are seeking artists who live within a reasonable geographical distance from the venue (50-mile radius) to assist with a day’s stewarding. Exceptions may be made, and if you anticipate you may want to opt-out of stewarding you should indicate this on your expression of interest. All artists are encouraged to attend the launch event. In previous years we ran a handful of demonstrations from participating artists which we would like to expand on. Demonstration days would be in addition to the stewarding days. Marketing Online The exhibition will have a dedicated online hub within our own website, and all artists will also have their own individual presence on the Delamore website. Additionally, every artist will have a dedicated profile created within our exhibition hub where they can list an unlimited number of works to be promoted to the Delamore audience that do not physically appear in the exhibition. All submitted works will be listed on our own dedicated exhibition page. Two images per artists will feature in the Delamore catalogue and on the Delamore website along with a brief artist statement, and a link through to our dedicated exhibition page. Print All artists will be included in the high-quality Delamore souvenir guide with an artist statement and image of their work. Separately, Artizan will produce a small print record of the exhibition for visitors to take away directing them to extended works on offer through the exhibition hub. Other Promotion Supporting flyering, and extensive event listings, press inclusions and paid advertising are carried out by Delamore, and its long-running pedigree guarantees returning audiences. Artizan will support these efforts with its own campaign promoting their attendance and inclusion in this year’s event. Audience Delamore attracts an audience in excess of 6,000 annually with a consistent record for high sales both from the sculpture trail and supporting exhibitions. In continuing to evolve the event and promoting the new offers such as this, they show their commitment to growing audiences. With the highly selective nature of the Delamore offer, we feel that this is a unique opportunity to reach their audience of collectors. We have decided to focus on the medium of printmaking to make our presence there distinctive from the other elements, a valuable addition that we hope will appeal to their audience and allow us to build upon in successive years. Process Expressions of interests must be completed and submitted via any of our preferred platforms no later than the EOI deadline below. These will then be judged, and 25 artists will be selected for the exhibition and invited to make their full submissions.

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 programme. The Kiln Room will sit alongside the third year of Contemporary British Printmakers, with the two exhibitions displayed in the Stable and Carriage Room galleries. This will be our third year collaborating with Delamore with an expanded offer of demonstrations, exhibitions, workshops and more to look forward to. Offer We are offering the opportunity to participate in a fully, curated and marketed potters and ceramicists exhibition, hosted by Delamore Arts and produced by Artizan Collective CIC. The exhibition will be curated to be distinct from but complimentary to Delamore’s wider sculpture offer, with a focus on: Functional and decorative ceramics Pots and vessels Sculptural works in relevant media A small number of supporting wall display works in relevant media Some larger scale pieces suitable to be displayed outside in the Courtyard Area Due to the diverse nature of this area of practice, it is anticipated that the number of works eligible per submission will be determined on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the applicant, after the expression of interest phase. Summary Exhibition of a collection of work, series, or individual pieces (case by case) Presence in Delamore Collectors Catalogue Profile page on Delamore website Profile page on Artizan website Feature on exhibition hub page Exhibiting and Space Exhibiting Offer Artists are initially asked to submit an expression of interest showcasing their portfolio via their online presence or alternatively via a portfolio document (PDF, video, doc etc.) Successful artists will then be asked to propose a collection of works  for inclusion based on guidance from the selection panel, from which we will confirm a commitment to display a given number of works and store an agreed volume of replacement works. The Space The space that we’ll be using sits within the Delamore grounds and forms part of the stable block. The stable area has become well known for a number of years as hosting the Southwest Academy Exhibition, with our presence here now firmly established following an expanded offer in this area in 2025. Stewarding and Demonstrations Artists with an address within 50 miles of the venue are asked to undertake a day’s stewarding as part of the offer. Exceptions may be made, and if you anticipate you may want to opt-out of stewarding you should indicate this on your expression of interest. All artists are encouraged to attend the launch event. Last year we ran a handful of demonstrations from participating artists which we would like to expand on. Demonstration days would be in addition to the stewarding days. Marketing Online The exhibition will have a dedicated online hub within our own website, and all artists will also have their own individual presence on the Delamore website. Additionally, every artist will have a dedicated profile created within our exhibition hub where they can list an unlimited number of works to be promoted to the Delamore audience that do not physically appear in the exhibition. All submitted works will be listed on our own dedicated exhibition page. Two images per artists will feature in the Delamore catalogue and on the Delamore website along with a brief artist statement, and a link through to our dedicated exhibition page. Print All artists will be included in the high-quality Delamore souvenir guide with an artist statement and image of their work. Separately, Artizan will produce a small print record of the exhibition for visitors to take away directing them to extended works on offer through the exhibition hub. Other Promotion Supporting flyering, and extensive event listings, press inclusions and paid advertising are carried out by Delamore, and its long-running pedigree guarantees returning audiences. Artizan will support these efforts with its own campaign promoting their attendance and inclusion in this year’s event. Audience Delamore attracts an audience in excess of 6,000 annually with a consistent record for high sales both from the sculpture trail and supporting exhibitions. In continuing to evolve the event and promoting the new offers such as this, they show their commitment to growing audiences. With the highly selective nature of the Delamore offer, we feel that this is a unique opportunity to reach their audience of collectors and are seeking to build on the success of the Kiln Room 2025 for a second year. Process Expressions of interests must be completed and submitted via any of our preferred platforms no later than the EOI deadline below.

Arriving at Studio KIND CAMP KINections at Studio KIND: A Day of Connection in Barnstaple On Friday 15th August , I travelled with CAMP co-director Mark Leahy  and CAMP coordinator Anna Gilroy  to Barnstaple for the first in-person group session of the CAMP KINections artist development programme. After several months of online activity, it was a pleasure to finally bring the two cohorts – emerging rural artists and Torbay-based practitioners – together under one roof to share their experiences, plan the next stages of the project, and do a little bit of evaluation. We were hosted for the day by artist and Studio KIND founding director Laura Porter , who welcomed us in the setting of their new exhibition Automatic Change Giver  by Stuart Robinson . This was an inspiring backdrop for the day: an ambitious, playful show exploring seaside nostalgia and memory through sculptural installation; nothing better than being surrounded by creativity to keep energy levels up! Meeting of Cohorts The morning gave both cohorts the chance to connect in person, strengthening the experience this cross-regional programme. Together, we reviewed ideas for the exhibition component of KINections and took time to look at some of the evaluation processes. It was great to see how the programme is already shaping the artists individual approaches to their practice and it reaffirmed the value of creating these peer networks; big hats off to Mark and the wider CAMP network for making it all possible. In the afternoon, we were joined by wider CAMP members for a talk from Laura Porter , who generously shared insights into the challenges and rewards of running an artist-led venue. Her reflections on the development of Studio KIND, from its founding in 2020 to its recent relocation to The Corn Store at Barnstaple’s historic Pannier Market, offered valuable lessons in resilience, vision, and sustaining community-driven practice. KINections Programme Banner Launch Evening The day closed with the launch of Stuart Robinson’s exhibition, which a handful of us were pleased to attend. Robinson’s practice, rooted in sculptural installation and performative elements, engages with personal and shared histories, offering playful but poignant narratives. Automatic Change Giver  draws on childhood seaside holidays and the landscapes, objects, and rituals that define them – bright colours, wordplay, and familiar motifs inviting audiences into conversations about memory, joy, and loss. Stuart Robinson's Exhibition Reflections For me, it was a rich and rewarding day. Travelling up by train with Anna was a really pleasant way to approach the session, and arriving in Barnstaple I was struck by the vibrancy of the town and its cultural scene. Meeting Laura in person, seeing the new Studio KIND premises, and hearing the artists’ reflections on KINections was another great reminder of just how exciting this programme is, and the value CAMP is bringing to its members across Devon and Cornwall. About CAMP CAMP (Contemporary Art Membership Platform)  is a member-led support and professional development network for artists, arts workers, and creatives across Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. CAMP promotes doing, making, and sharing contemporary art through a programme of workshops, mentoring, and opportunities for collaboration. About KINections KINections  is a 15-month professional development opportunity led by CAMP (Contemporary Art Membership Platform CIC) , an artist-led membership organisation for creatives in Devon and Cornwall. Starting in April 2025, the project will work with Devon-based artist duo LOW PROFILE  and Artizan Gallery, Torbay , alongside partners Thelma Hulbert Gallery  (Honiton), Fish Factory  (Penryn) and The Plough Arts Centre  (Great Torrington), to deliver a programme of support, training, and networking for rurally based emerging artists and Torbay artists. The project is funded by Arts Council England , The Fenton Trust , and CAMP.

Sink or Swim Sink or Swim Exhibition by Art for Social Change Collective The Projection Room, Paignton Private View: Saturday, 23rd August, 6-8pm Exhibition Continues: until Tuesday, 26th August 25 Contact: lottie.bolster@gmail.com Instagram: @art_for_social_change Sink or Swim is a multidisciplinary exhibition presented by the Art for Social Change collective, held at the Projection Room, Paignton. The show explores urgent issues surrounding marine degradation and the ecological vulnerability of water. Featuring photography, ceramics, glasswork, screenprints, watercolours, digital projection and live performance, the exhibition invites the public to reflect on our evolving, and often endangered relationship with the ocean.  In the lead-up to the exhibition , local artist Lottie Bolster has been hosting participatory sessions reflecting on fish & chip shops in a speculative future when fish is just a memory. What happens when the fish are gone? Lottie is inviting the public to contribute and share their story either in person at Paignton Library on Tuesday 5th August, 3pm or by email lottie.bolster@gmail.com .  The Art for Social Change collective brings together artists from diverse disciplines and backgrounds who are united by a shared commitment to challenging dominant narratives, provoking social awareness, and fostering connection through creative expression. Formed during the 2021 Artquest Arts for Social Change Salon , the group has since evolved into a supportive network nurturing socially engaged practices. Sink or Swim marks the collective’s first public exhibition, a convergence of artistic voices working at the intersection of the personal, political and planetary. The works in the show confront fragility, invite reflection, and ask: will we sink or swim?  Exhibiting artists Lottie Bolster, Julie Light, Katherine Masters, Aishling Muller, Agata Nowak, and Kayleigh Peters .  Lottie Bolster | Artist and Mental Health Advocate  Lottie is a multidisciplinary artist whose work challenges (mis)perceptions.  Lottie uses storytelling to prompt audiences to question the mental frameworks that shape how we see the world. A graduate of Central Saint Martins (MA Art & Science, 2019), she has exhibited in the UK and internationally, including at CERN, Tate Modern, and Somerset House.  Website: www.lottiebolster.com   Instagram: @lottie_bolster   Julie Light | Artist and Sculptor  Sculptural Explorations of Body and Health  Julie is a sculptor working primarily with glass to explore human and creature form, health, and hybridity. Her sculptures visualise the intersection of human and non-human bodies, illness, and imagined transformations, asking viewers to reconsider their perceptions of health and vulnerability.  Website: www.julielight.co.uk   Instagram: @julielightglass Katherine Masters | Conceptual Artist  Coastal Sustainability and the Human Condition  Katherine examines the natural world’s fragility, focusing on coastal sustainability and environmental responsibility. She explores the relationship between texture and colour while addressing the pressing concerns of ecological change through a multidisciplinary practice.  Website: www.katherinemasters.com   Instagram: @katherinemasters.artist   Aishling Muller | Digital Media & Performance Artist  Ecological Grief & Inner Transformation  Irish neurodiverse artist Aishling Muller explores the parallels between environmental collapse and personal metamorphosis. Working with lens-based media and performance, she documents the melting glaciers of Greenland and creates symbolic self-portraits that reflect cycles of loss, resilience, and rebirth. Her work here considers water not just as crisis, but as carrier of memory, emotion, and planetary change.  Website: www.lifeschanginglandscape.com   Instagram: @aishlingmuller   Agata Nowak | Cross-Disciplinary Research-Based Artist  Human and Non Human  Agata weaves themes of resilience, and belonging into her research-based practice. Working with strands of basalt fiber, she created screen print drawings that echo the silent chemical exchange between oceanic crust and the ocean. Her work brings attention to the agency of matter and the quiet, ongoing exchanges that drive transformation beyond human perception.  Website: www.agatanowak.squarespace.com Instagram: @agatanowakdesign   Kayleigh Peters | Multidisciplinary Artist  Health, Protest, and Lived Experience  Kayleigh is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores themes of health, protest, and lived experience. Working across textiles, ceramics, performance and participatory art, she investigates the ways in which craft can serve as a vehicle for storytelling and activism. Her work engages with historical and contemporary narratives, inviting audiences to reflect on issues of care, resilience, and systemic change.  Website: www.kayleigh-peters.com   Instagram: @kayleighpeters_artist #LottieBolster #KayleighPeters #AgataNowak #AishlingMuller #KatherineMasters #JulieLight #SinkOrSwim #GuestBlog #Exhibition

Walking through the gates of the Italian garden at Great Ambrook I am surrounded by a familiar sense of mystery, of ancient secrets linking this place to the people who inhabited it more than 100 years ago. It’s almost a year since I was last here and new trailing rosemary creeps across repaired pathways, part of the ongoing process of sensitive renovation and replanting. At the Summerhouse the historian Jeremy Treglown brings the garden’s creator and his companions back to life in the space they enjoyed all those years ago.  These are the people who populated my final MA Illustration project “Graham’s Garden” shown in an exhibition at Artizan Gallery, Torquay in March 2024.   The garden’s story still remains largely unwritten, but its different settings provide stages for the imagination. A creative opportunity it’s hard to resist! The current custodians of the garden, with the help of a team of incredible volunteers, are creating an inclusive space in which to socialise, learn and spend time with nature and they are generously inviting local people in to develop some of these opportunities. As a result, Zo Copeland, a local writer and poet who is currently running creative writing courses in Paignton is collaborating with me, an illustrator, to deliver a creative writing and drawing workshop in the garden on 21st September 2024 between 11am to 2pm. The garden is not open to the public, so this is an opportunity to visit this inspiring place as we wander through the gardens making words and pictures. Everyone is welcome and no previous experience is required.

English Riviera Summer Open We’re pleased to invite submissions for this year’s English Riviera Summer Open, our annual celebration of contemporary visual arts at Artizan Collective Gallery. Running from 29th June - 24th August 2025, this exhibition transforms our Fleet Walk venue into a vibrant patchwork of colour, creativity and community. If you’ve exhibited with us before, you’ll know that the Summer Open is a cornerstone of our year - one of our biggest, boldest showcases that brings together a rich blend of artists working across all mediums and styles. And if you’re new to our calls, welcome! This is your chance to be part of one of the South West’s most diverse and accessible open exhibitions. The Summer Open is: Selective but welcoming  - open to all, with selection based on originality, quality, and breadth. Boldly curated  - we look for dynamic combinations of traditional and contemporary work. Audience-loved  - drawing visitors, collectors, and art lovers from across the region. This year’s submission fees are: £10 for a single work submission   £35 for multi-work submissions  (submit up to six works; max four selected) New for 2025: Get involved before the show opens! We’re holding a Volunteer Day for anyone who’s ever said, “Just let me know if you need a hand.” On 23rd June, we’ll be inviting anyone who’s free to come down, pick up a roller, and help us give the space a fresh coat of paint. It’s a great excuse to get stuck in behind the scenes, meet fellow artists, and be part of the creative buzz from the ground up. If you’ve discovered us recently - perhaps through our work at Delamore or further afield - this is a great opportunity to continue your journey with us and experience the full spirit of our high street gallery programme in Torquay.
