Our aim is to give Artists, Makers & Designers the opportunity to practice their skills by providing an affordable and supportive environment where they can not only create and design but teach and exhibit as well. Our facilities include an educational room (availible for hire at just £45 a day) and gallery space for Artists, enabling educational workshops and art shows, both in and for the community.
We have been hosting school visits for over 10 years. We began with just 6 visits a year and now offer 150 funded visits through the stewardship scheme. The farm has incredible range of locations including an old railway cutting, newly planted orchard, stream, meadows and woodland. We have a wide experience of working with groups from nursery, through primary and secondary up to college and beyond!
It was founded at the beginning of 2010 and has gone from strength to strength. The emphasis is on providing an accessible exhibition space for local artists and makers, with plenty of opportunities for visitors to meet the artists, who steward most of the shows. There will also be invited artists and local arts organisations included in the programme. The galleries are open from 10:30-4:30pm every day, and often for longer in the holidays.

Born in 1942 Leonard Hollands studied art initially at the Heston and Isleworth Evening Institute whilst also an architectural trainee, and then, on a one to one basis, under Bertram Armitage, son of Alfred Armitage, minor artist of the Newlyn School. Pursuing a career in architecture and surveying, and from 1971 when he was ordained, also in the Church, his painting had to be part time, although always a consuming passion, but in 2003 he began to paint full time.
I have lived in Torbay since 1997 and have always had a love for art in all of its forms and if I wanted an 'art fix' I would generally head for St Ives, a place synonymous with art. I was sure that here in the Bay we probably had a similar abundance of creative talent but where was it, how to find it? What was it that places like St Ives had that we were lacking? What is stopping Torbay being for Devon what St Ives is for Cornwall?

By that time I had already been working successfully with paints on silk and, following my formal studies, my interests expanded across various media and subject matter. Many of my inspirations stem from my detailed macro photography of the natural world. I am fascinated by the wealth of colours and textures nature provides, having lived near Dartmoor for many years. Movement, texture and colour are the main elements I look for in my landscape painting.
