Welcome to Outside In an exhibition celebrating the extraordinary creativity of The Great Torre Abbey Paint Out. This exhibition documents a shared public response to our town's landscapes and heritage, drawing together community pieces from the Mass Paint Out, professional works from the Artist Trail, and the outstanding submissions from Torbay's first Plein Air Art Competition.
Across the 5th & 6th of September, the Paint Out celebrated the culmination of the National Gallery's Art on Your Doorstep. On Saturday, the Artist Trail invited visitors to watch ten professional practitioners capture familiar surroundings in real time from Torre Abbey to Torquay Pavilion. By Sunday, the creative energy shifted to Torre Abbey, transforming the historic grounds into a vibrant studio where participants of all ages and abilities painted together in a joyous Mass Paint Out.
The weekend also challenged creatives to capture the environment against the clock. We are incredibly proud to showcase the talent of all who took part and extend congratulations to our prize winners: Overall Winner, Gabrielle Peckham; Silver Winner, Susan Rooney; Bronze Winner, Mark Bell; and Youth Winner, Frankie Gaughan.
With thanks to: Torbay Council, the National Gallery, the Friends of Torre Abbey, The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England. And to our sponsors: Great Western Railway, Twigger Business Solutions and Otto Bar & Restaurant. The Great Torre Abbey Paint Out was proudly produced by Artizan Collective, Torre Abbey and Torquay Pavilion Creative Engagement Group.
