The Art of Dartmoor

With all the spectacular landscape on Dartmoor it is hardly surprising that its beauty has been the inspiration for artists for centuries. Some have become renown for their work whilst others have simply indulged for their own pleasure. As time has ticked by various formats have evolved and modern inventions and techniques have meant that there are now new mediums through which the splendour of Dartmoor can be captured. It is the intention that this section will feature some of the various artists who have used their talents to express the landscape and atmosphere that can be experienced on and around the moor. Hopefully this will encompass the many artistic mediums that have and are being employed by artists, photographers, sculptors and various craftsmen.
There are numerous galleries dotted around Dartmoor where both old and new works can be seen and purchased. Throughout the year many of these places hold exhibitions which feature individual artists and their work, the High Moorland Visitor Centre being but one example. By July 2009 there should be a brand new arts and crafts centre opened at Princetown. This £1.7m project is intended to feature 17 small workshops from which local craftsmen and women will be based along with an exhibition gallery. Below are a list of some local galleries or websites where new and old works of Dartmoor art can be found:
