Artizan Collective is seeking applications from groups, societies and collectives (informal or formally constituted) to take over the Landrover Shed as part of Delamore Arts 2027. This is a selective call to which we are inviting applications.

Delamore
Delamore arts is an annual month-long exhibition that has been running successfully for just over 20 years. It attracts artists and visitors from across the UK with all works selected by a panel of judges to ensure and maintain a high standard of work. 

Whilst its focus initially was on sculptural works that are placed within the grounds and the house, 2D works have become an important part of the offer and adorn the walls in the main house salon style to compliment a supporting collection of interior 3D works.

Delamore regularly sees repeat visitors for whom this event is part of their arts calendar, and many of those visitors come with the intent to buy.

There is a café on site so most visitors will spend several hours and fully explore all that is on offer. Proceeds from the exhibition support a designated charity that is selected each year by Delamore.

Artizan
For the month of May, we move to Delamore Estate and support this fantastic annual showcase with our own curated offer. Contemporary British Printmakers and The Kiln Room provide two unique exhibition additions, with demonstrations, drop-in activities and the Maker Takeovers, creating a lively and engaging programme.

Offer
The opportunity offers a small exhibition/workshop space within the Stable Arts Quarter available for week long bookings and best suited to small groups. From the space, selected groups will be able to deliver a mix of 2D and 3D exhibition activity, workshops or demonstrations, and promote the wider activities they deliver to audiences of buyers and potential members.

Summary

• Participation in Delamore's thriving Stable Arts Quarter
• Self-contained exhibition setting with provision of hanging system, lighting and array of tables and plinths
• Opportunity to be a part of one of Devon’s best loved arts events with 6000+ visitors annually
• Ability to take your own sales with 0 commission fees
• Option to deliver demonstrations and produce work from the stalls
• Full on-site facilities including kitchen, café serving light lunches and refreshments, toilets, electricity and WiFi
• Promotion through Delamore Arts and Artizan Collective channels including on the Delamore Arts website
• Support to take payments if required at a low 5% rate

The Space
Part of the old stable courtyard, The Landrover Shed has been sensitively adapted to offer a versatile and functional space. The room is well lit with white stone walls and a cobbled floor, with sink for workshops/studio delivery. A large garage style sliding door opens the front of the space to the courtyard for access, with the option to setup a gazebo outside for further demonstrations and delivery.

Space details include:

• 26m^2 approx.
• Hanging system for display 2D work
• Versatile functional space
• Housed within the new Arts Courtyard alongside two exhibition spaces, a dedicated workshop space, and outdoor creative activity in the courtyard
• Electricity and Wi-Fi
• Easy vehicle access for setup, loading and unloading and nearby parking

Things to note:

• The cobbled floor is uneven and wooden "packing" materials are provided for levelling surfaces
• This is not a "white box" space, it has a rustic workshop feel but is well lit and appointed to offer the functionality for displaying work whilst delivering activity; those looking purely for a "traditional clean" exhibition space only may not find the space suitable

Marketing and Audience
Online: Each exhibition hosted in the Landrover Shed will have a dedicated online hub within our own website with all participants getting a profile where they can share additional works for sale and opportunities they may be offering. All activity is also listed on the Delamore Arts website.

A programme of visiting makers will also be listed across various online promotional platforms including Facebook Events and Visual Arts South West.

Other Promotion: Supporting flyering, and extensive event listings, press inclusions and paid advertising are carried out by Delamore, and its long-running pedigree guarantees returning audiences. Artizan will support these efforts with its own campaign promoting their attendance and inclusion in this year’s event.

Audience: Delamore attracts an audience in excess of 6,000 annually with a consistent record for high sales both from the sculpture trail and supporting exhibitions. In continuing to evolve the event and promoting the new offers such as this, they show their commitment to growing audiences.

With the highly selective nature of the Delamore offer, we feel that this is a unique opportunity to reach their audience.
