torre abbey

'Torre Abbey is delighted to announce the launch of a brand new annual exhibition for the Galleries at Torre Abbey.  The exhibition will feature the work of painters, sculptors and craftspeople as well as performance artists and creative workshops.  Join us in celebrating the opening of Torre Abbey as the new showcase for exceptional art in the South West region.'

This exhibition is similar to the Royal Acadamy show in London, though fortunately sculptors were exempt from queing with heavy artworks, and the sculpture chosen by Francesca Dimond was selected by sending in images.

The exhibition runs from 27th September to 22nd November and there are a number of special events running.

RNLI - Dartmouth Lifeboat Station Appeal

During the 'Fawley Court' exhibition, (see above), Francesca Dimond raised money for the RNLI Dartmouth lifeboat station. In return for a donation of any size visitors were invited to put a pebble into one of the 'Beacon' sculptures in celebration of the lives saved at sea, or in remembrance of a loved one.
£ 129.64 was raised over the weekend, and this was then presented to Dartmouth Lifeboat Station which has been opened since November last year. They are still raising money to purchase a new 'D Class' Lifeboat. Please follow the link above to find out more and to make donations.
