Torbay Artists open their doors for Devon Open Studios 2021

Torbay Artists open their doors for Devon Open Studios 2021

Artists from across Brixham, Paignton and Torquay are inviting audiences to visit them where they create their work in the annual Devon Open Studios event that takes place every September across the county.

The event is an opportunity to support local independent artists, and gives residents and visitors to Torbay the chance to meet some of these creative people who are inspired by, and make from their homes, on the English Riviera.

This year there are 183 venues to enjoy as part of Devon Open Studios, and 15 of them are here in Torbay. The event runs 11-26 September, with a Torbay weekend 20-23 September where all the local venues will be open.

Free guides are available from sites across the towns including from the English Riviera Visitor Information Centre on Torquay harbourside, or alternatively you can find out more at www.devonopenstudios.co.uk where you can also download a digital guide, or visit www.art-hub.co.uk/dos21 for the Torbay programme.
