Arts & Crafts in Devon

Devon is a county where creativity and the arts thrive. People have been making and sharing art here for thousands of years. They have sung and danced, told stories and acted plays, embroidered and painted and carved.

The art of the past is embedded in our environment and culture. Devon has a vast and varied legacy, and every day artists are adding to its richness through new work. You can share in this wealth of art by visiting Devon's galleries, historic buildings or museums in Devon. 

Sculptors, photographers, painters and potters often welcome visitors to their studio. Devon's theatres, festivals and arts centres present performers from around the world alongside the many talented actors, musicians and dancers who make their home in Devon.

You can catch up with the latest films or revisit classics and old favourites at Devon's cinemas and film societies. And if you want to grow your own creative skills, this is a great place to learn. We have courses through the year in drawing, drumming, singing, writing, making films and a good deal more.

Devon is rich in the arts, and there's plenty here for you to share!
