16th February
A big thank you to all our artists who've been sending across the images of their work which we'll be proudly exhibiting in May of this year.
We will be showcasing their work in our online catalogue next month and in a fabulous printed 10th anniversary catalogue which will be available at the exhibition itself.

SPRING IN THE AIR!
9th February
It's been a glorious spring day at the Delamore estate today, blue skies, sunshine and a very crisp nip in the air!
The grounds are seeing a burst of seasonal snowdrops and also some decidedly unseasonable flowerings! We're already looking forward to the first signs of the historic rhododendron flowers making their appearance, but its a little way off yet!
EXCITING NEW WORK FROM THIS YEAR'S ARTISTS
3rd February
Here at Delamore Arts we've had a wonderful week taking a sneeky peak at some of the forthcoming work that our invited artists will be exhibiting at Delamore's ten year anniversary in May. In due course and ahead of the exhibition we hope to be able to preview a full catalouge of the work on our website. We promise it will be very much worth the wait!
Please see oil painting by Jo Dixon and wire sculpture by Derek Kinzett on our home page and sculpture by Henry Bruce opposite. All three of these artists will be joined by over 100 others at the show in May.

The oil, watercolour and pastel originals are expected to fetch between £1,000 and £15,500 each.The latest paintings include scenes from Kieron's home county and abroad.
Kieron's last exhibition at the Norfolk gallery in 2010 caused a stir across the art world, with his collection of works selling out in 30 minutes.Fans camped outside the gallery days before the sale, with people from as far away as Arizona in the US snapping up his paintings.
His last exhibition was at the Delamore Arts Festival in Devon in May, where his works sold out before the event began.

DELAMORE ARTS ANNOUNCES 'CELEBRATION OF BRITISH SCULPTURE' FOR ITS 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW
28th September
The West Country's Biggest Sculpture Garden and Art Exhibition invites leading and up and coming sculptors to exhibit in May 2012
Art@Delamore, the South West's leading Sculpture and Arts Exhibition has announced that to celebrate its 10th successful year, there will be a special focus on British outdoor sculpture in the grounds of its beautiful Estate, and is inviting local and National talent to contribute.
In previous years more than 100 artists and sculptors, from Henry Moore prize winners to up and coming new talent, have been selected to exhibit at the annual Art@Delamore exhibition in the stunning gardens of the Delamore Estate in the foothills of Dartmoor. The gardens, originally laid out in the Victorian era, are home to an array of stunning century old rhododendrons.
“Every year, the feedback is that it our sculpture and gardens are what really makes our event magical,” said Delamore's Founder and Director, Gavin Dollard. “The grounds are outstanding offering an unparalleled opportunity to showcase work in a unique and beautiful environment. So to celebrate our 10 anniversary, we have decided to focus on sculpture and surprise and delight our followers with a very special show – which we hope will include some very big names.”
The popular Cornwood-based event, which runs every day in May, is open to the public, and features an eclectic mix of regional and national names in the art and sculpture world, who exhibit their work in the exclusive setting of Delamore Estate's beautiful rooms and grounds.
“We would like to invite sculptors from across the UK to participate. It presents a once a year opportunity to showcase a large selection of some of the year's most outstanding outdoor sculpture by living sculptors, all in one place. We allow the sculptors to curate their exhibits in the garden, so that they can be 'discovered' by visitors as they explore our grounds. It gives quite a magical feel, which is more representative of how sculptures can enhance a garden or estate, than just a display in a gallery.”
“While we will be really celebrating sculpture, we won't be forgetting our ever popular art exhibition. Last year we had over 7,500 visitors, purchasing over 300 pieces of Art & Sculpture, including work from child genius artist Kieron Williamson. We pride ourselves on bringing a fresh, thought-provoking, diverse, collection of Art to the public each year and 2012 will be no exception.”
Based at Cornwood, near Ivybridge in South Devon, the Art@Delamore exhibition is hosted on the Delamore estate, home to the family since 1688. Two of the principal rooms of the house (built in 1859) are used as galleries for hanging paintings. Immense windows provide excellent natural light and make for a superb gallery where visitors have the opportunity to view paintings at leisure within the atmosphere of this impressive country house. Meanwhile the gardens, which are rarely open to the public, provide a striking backdrop for sculpture large and small, from Henry Moore Foundation prize-winners to emerging artists.
To enter sculptors and artists need to email admin@delamore-arts.co.uk
More news is available on Twitter @DelamoreArts
The exhibition will be open every day throughout May.

MAX LOWRY (1976-2010) - A RETROSPECTIVE
MALL GALLERIES, LONDON (SEP 2011)
26th August
Delamore will be attending a retrospective of Max Lowry a highly versatile young British artist who, when he died suddenly at the age of 34 last year, was just beginning to fulfil his early promise.
As he experimented boldly with various techniques and media - oils, collage, photography, digital imagery, anamorphic art - often blending several of them together, a strong narrative and communicative style emerged, evoking the interactive generation: http://www.maxlowry.co.uk/#/home/
Max was both an exhibitor and supporter of Delamore Arts from its inception ten years ago.
