Enjoy Dartmoor in all Weathers at National Park Visitor Centre

A new exhibition, Dartmoor in all Weathers, by members of the Devon Artist Network (DAN) will open at the Dartmoor National Park Authority’s High Moorland Visitor Centre gallery in Princetown on January 7. Devon Artist Network is a membership organisation for visual artists and makers and the exhibition features a range of work by 23 artists from across Devon. The exhibition includes paintings, ceramics, fused glass, stained glass, machine embroidered sculpture, collographs, woodcuts, photography, textiles and welded steel.

Kate Wilson, Programme Manager for Devon Artist Network said: ‘We are delighted to have this opportunity to show work in the lovely gallery at the High Moorland Visitor Centre. It is a great opportunity to show some of the fantastic work produced in Devon. Dartmoor is a great inspiration to many of our artists and the exhibition shows the many forms that inspiration can take. ’ The exhibition will run until February 28 and is open daily from 10am to 4pm. Admission is free. For further information about the exhibition or Devon Artist Network, visit www.devonartistnetwork.co.uk (external link, opens new window).

There are 15 members of the National Parks family in the UK: Brecon Beacons, Dartmoor, Exmoor, Lake District, New Forest, Northumberland, North York Moors, Peak District, Pembrokeshire Coast, Snowdonia, South Downs, Yorkshire Dales, Loch Lomond & The Trossachs, the Cairngorms and the Broads.  National Parks are of special value to the whole nation because of their great beauty, their wildlife and cultural interests and the opportunities they offer for quiet enjoyment.  However, they are not nationally owned - the land is in the hands of many landowners or occupiers including farmers.  Over 34,500 people live in Dartmoor National Park and many millions of visits are made to it each year.
