Local Life, Land & Legacy Exhibition

This exhibition brings together the work of 17 artists from West Devon, the Tamar Valley, and North Cornwall. Every artist interpreting the theme of local life, land, and legacy in their own way. The result is a diverse and personal collection of well over 100 original works.

You’ll find paintings in many different mediums, alongside printmaking, photography, textile art, ceramics, stone and glass sculpture, and artisan handcrafted jewellery — all created with care, curiosity, and a deep connection to place.

Some works speak directly to the land itself: the tors and paths of Dartmoor, the shifting light of rivers and moor. Others offer quieter reflections — shaped by memory, story, rhythm, or mood.

Several artists explore themes of ecological change, human experience, and wildlife concerns — either overtly, or in subtle undercurrents. Others simply record what they see before them. 

This is not a single voice, but a conversation: individual responses gathered into shared space.

Some pieces are contemplative, others bold, playful, or questioning. All invite you to pause, look closely, and find your own point of connection.
