Thelma Hulbert Gallery in Honiton will be kicking off the new year by hosting the South West Academy of Fine and Applied Arts (SWAc) anniversary exhibition, together with an exciting programme of workshops and events.
The exhibition, lasting from January 11 to February 8, 2020, marks the start of the Academy's 20th anniversary year and will feature work in a diverse range of media including paintings, sculpture, prints and photography. The exhibition supports the South West Academy's dedication to advancing the creation and appreciation of art in the area.
South West Academy's Chair of Trustees, Robert Mountjoy said: "The South West Academy is delighted to return to the Thelma Hulbert Gallery for its Winter Exhibition in this our 20th year. The bright yet intimate gallery is perfect for the presentation of our work and the Academicians will be supporting the exhibition with a series of talks and workshops."
