Studio KIND Summer Open

The Studio KIND Summer Open returns for its fourth year, inviting artists from across Devon to be part of this exciting celebration of creativity and contemporary artistic practice. The exhibition highlights the breadth and diversity of work being produced across the region, and represents artists at all stages of their careers working across all mediums including painting, photography, moving image, sculpture, printmaking, drawing and ceramics. Taking place at the height of summer, when North Devon welcomes visitors from far and wide, the Studio KIND Summer Open is an opportunity to showcase what our arts community has to offer.  

Studio KIND is an artist-led space committed to championing artists and building a sustainable creative community in Devon. The Summer Open is an opportunity to nurture existing relationships whilst making new connections with local artists. As a fundraiser, the Summer Open directly supports Studio KIND’s year-round programme, and the exhibition will be accompanied by a series of free, family-friendly activities for local residents.

The 2026 Studio KIND Summer Open will run from Saturday 11th July to Saturday 15th August with the private view running from 3-5pm on Saturday 11th July. The gallery opening hours are 12-5pm, Tuesdays to Saturdays.
