Delamore Arts 11th Annual Exhibition
10.30am - 4.30pm on the stunning Delamore estate in Cornwood, near Ivybridge. The West Country’s Biggest Sculpture Garden and Art Exhibition To Showcase Fresh and Diverse Art Throughout May 2013
IN previous years more than 100 artists and sculptors, from renowned British Pop Artists to Henry Moore prize winners, have been selected to exhibit at the annual Art@Delamore exhibition in the stunning gardens of the Delamore Estate in the foothills of Dartmoor.
originally laid out in the Victorian era, are home to an array of stunning century old rhododendrons.
“We allow the sculptors to curate their exhibits in the garden, so that they can be ‘discovered’ by visitors as they explore our grounds”, said Delamore’s Founder and Director, Gavin Dollard “It gives quite a magical feel, which is more representative of how sculptures can enhance a garden or estate, than just a display in a gallery. Delamore presents a once a year opportunity to showcase a large selection of some of the year’s most outstanding outdoor sculpture by living sculptors, all in one place”.
The exhibition is open to the public, and features an eclectic mix of regional and national names in the art and sculpture world, who exhibit their work in the exclusive setting of Delamore Estate’s beautiful rooms and grounds. Painters showcasing at Delamore in 2013 include recent entrant to the ‘Who’s Who of British Contemporary Art’, Richard Snowden and renowned artists Glynn Macey and Nicholas St John Rosse.
“Our art exhibition is proving to be a continued attraction” says Gavin Dollard. “Last year we had over 7,500 visitors, purchasing over 300 pieces of Art & Sculpture, including work from child genius artist Kieron Williamson and British Pop Artist Colin Self, who will also be exhibiting in May. We pride ourselves on bringing a fresh, thought-provoking, diverse, collection of Art to the public each year and 2013 will be no exception.”
The Delamore estate has been home to the family since 1688. Two of the principal rooms of the house (built in 1859) are used as galleries for hanging paintings. Immense windows provide excellent natural light and make for a superb gallery where visitors have the opportunity to view paintings at leisure within the
