Overview
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 programme. The Kiln Room is a new offering that will sit alongside the second year of Contemporary British Printmakers, with the two exhibitions displayed in the Stable and Carriage Room galleries. This will be our second year collaborating with Delamore with an expanded offer of demonstrations, exhibitions, workshops and more to look forward to.
The Kiln Room 2025 Offer
We are offering the opportunity to participate in a fully, curated and marketed potters and ceramicists exhibition, hosted by Delamore Arts and produced by Artizan Collective CIC.
The exhibition will be curated to be distinct from but complimentary to Delamore’s wider sculpture offer, with a focus on:
Functional and decorative ceramics
Pots and vessels
Sculptural works in relevant media
A small number of supporting wall display works in relevant media
Due to the diverse nature of this area of practice, it is anticipated that the number of works eligible per submission will be determined on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the applicant, after the expression of interest phase.
