This May, join Artizan Studio Artist, Grace Clifford, for Strata Stories, a flagship exhibition coinciding with the 2026 Geopark Festival.

Inspired by Torbay's prestigious UNESCO Global Geopark designation, this collection delves into the bay's dramatic 400-million-year geological history. Visitors can expect a diverse curated showcase, ranging from polished, completed works to immersive mixed-media installations and raw "works in progress" that offer a glimpse into the creative process.

The exhibition also shines a spotlight on selected guest artists whose practice is rooted in geological exploration.

More Than Just a Gallery Visit:

Beyond the walls, we are hosting a multidisciplinary programme of events designed to bring the "Strata Stories" to life.

Join us for:

• Hands-on creative workshops
• Insightful artist talks
• Interactive activities for all ages

Come celebrate the unique heritage of the English Riviera and see our landscape through a new lens.
