The South Hams is a Devon idyll: a magnet for the wealthy with a high proportion of second homes and a thriving tourist industry. Beneath its venner of beauty and affluence there is another less documented South Hams, all too easy to airbrush out when portraying it. Unseen South Hams is a project by local artists to redress this balance, exhibiting work that hopes to draw attention to, and to find beauty in the places, people and problems so often overlooked. It will take place at the Old Library, Newcomen Rd, Dartmouth 21-23 November 2008.

Move Bristol 2009
'Move' is an exhibition designed to display the talent, relevance and invention of contemporary artists living in an area lazily stereotyped as a haven for touristy arts and crafts as well as the appeal of Bristol as a cultural centre and viable alternative to London.
The show is set for early 2009 and a venue and some artists have already been confirmed.
