Two of North Devon’s most notable art groups have come together in this unique shared exhibition dedicated to celebrating the work of local artists.

Featuring a vibrant mix of artworks in a broad range of styles and mediums, the exhibition includes drawings, watercolours and sketchbooks from North Devon Arts En Plein Air sessions, alongside drawings and paintings from Pilton Arts Group members.

From initial sketchbook markings depicting landscapes or still life, to larger scale completed watercolour and oil paintings, you’ll embark on a journey of wonder through the creative process. What’s more, we hope that you might also leave inspired to explore your own creativity!

This is a free exhibition and you’re welcome to chat to any of the group members about exhibited works or how to go about joining either group as a member.
