Fresh Art in a Country House Setting Advertising feature
ased on the edge of Dartmoor, in Cornwood, near Ivybridge, the Delamore Art exhibition is hosted on the Delamore estate, 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 atmosphere of this impressive country house. The gardens, ablaze with colour, are seen at their best during May and are an ideal backdrop for sculpture large and small, from Henry Moore Foundation prize winners to emerging artists. As a major exhibition in the South West and now in its 12th
B year, the
exhibition host both well established and newly emerging artists and sees visitors from across the UK. “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”

In the time the exhibition has been running, Delamore Arts has raised close to £100,000 for charities in the South West, including The Chestnut Appeal, The Devon Air Ambulance, The Dartmoor Trust, and Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. This year the supported charity is The Naval Service Recovery Centre based in Devonport Plymouth. The building, funded by Help for Heroes, provides much needed specialist physiotherapy facilities for service personnel including a gymnasium, swimming pool and the largest hydrotherapy pool in the South West. The building also houses a Veterans Welfare and support Hub providing a much-needed single point of contact and advice for veterans based in the South West.
