This exhibition is the culmination of a year-long collaborative project between THG and East Devon AONB.
The project celebrates 25 years of the East Devon Way, the 40 mile footpath running from Exmouth to Lyme Regis.
The aim of the project has been to use diverse artforms and artists to enable people to engage with the natural landscape in new ways. This exhibition showcases new work created especially for this project by local contemporary artists Angus Rutherford, Gabby Hoad and Jenny Mellings. Exhibited alongside will be a reflection of the 80 nature-based creative workshops undertaken with schools and the public.
View invitation to exhibition opening : Saturday 8 September, 3-5pm.
