After a triumphant first year, the Ashburton Art Trail is back!
Instigated by Sylvie Nicholls, ceramist and jeweller living in Ashburton, Ashburton Artists and Artisans was created to promote artists and makers in Ashburton through group exhibitions, markets, and events. And what a success it has been.
On the weekend of Friday 30th & Saturday 31st May and Sunday 1st June we are looking forward to welcoming back artists and artisans from last year’s trail along with some wonderful new creatives.
All 29 of those taking part in 21 venues across the town are rooted in the culture of Dartmoor where the vibrant town of Ashburton is nestled. Ashburton is fast becoming the most vibrant cultural destination in South Devon as innovative new galleries such as Field System, Jam, The Burleve Gallery and the out-of-town Furzeleigh Living, compliment the thriving Arts Centre. Visit the newly opened Ashburton Artists and Artisans shop, bustling independent shops, antique shops, and delicatessens.
Plan your walk around the town with the helpful guide ad map; stumble upon painters, ceramicists, printmakers, textile artists, jewellers, photographers, sculptors, and those who defy definition in their studios, homes and shops.
View the exhibitors work and download the guide and map on Instagram at ashburton.artisans.
