Come and join us for a glass of wine to celebrate the opening of two major exhibitions this summer. Over fifty pieces by Devon Artist Network (DAN) members will be on display in Gallery Two while the rest of the gallery will be full of works exploring the theme of colour. This is a great opportunity to find new emerging talent while enjoy displays from more established artists Yvonne Coomber, Daniel Holme-Adams and Ashley Hanson.
