The South West Academy of Art is returning with a new exhibition at the Thelma Hulbert Gallery this March.
It will showcase new works from members of the South West Academy of Fine and Applied Arts.
This includes original paintings, sculptures, photography, and limited edition prints, all of which will be available for purchase.
Among the featured artists are Jenny Pery, Geoff Shillito, Adrian Edwards, and Karen McEndoo.
Each artist brings their unique style and influence to the ongoing mission of the South West Academy, a registered charity focused on furthering the creation and appreciation of art in the South West region.
Jenny Pery, an active member of the Devon Artist Network, regularly exhibits work in the South West, while Geoff Shillito's award-winning work, influenced by narratives at a domestic scale, can be seen across London too.
Landscape artist Adrian Edwards, combines his interests in rural and urban landscapes, often carrying out numerous observational studies on-site before crafting his final pieces.
Karen McEndoo draws inspiration from her time in Africa and the natural world.
Alongside this exhibition, The Glow of Hours: Rebecca Partridge in Devon, a display by London-based artist Rebecca Partridge, will be taking place in the Upstairs Gallery.
Ms Partridge's work draws influence from particular locations including deserts, glaciers, and ancient forests.
This collection will include a new series of small works directly influenced by the local Devon landscape.
Councillor Nick Hookway, portfolio holder for culture, sport, leisure and tourism, said: "I must congratulate the South West Academy for creating such inspiring exhibitions showcasing the work of local artists of national prominence.
"Their range of subjects and mediums will resonate across a wide range of audiences."
The exhibitions will run from March 23 to May 11, and will be open from Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 5pm.
Alongside the exhibition, there will be a programme of workshops and art activities including a community workshop, activities in local schools, and an artist's talk with a demonstration.
Additionally, the launch of Rebecca Partridge’s first print edition, Forest Dawn, made through the traditional process of Japanese woodblock printing, will be showcased.
The project has been generously funded by Arts Council England.
Admission to the exhibition is completely free, though donations are greatly welcomed.
