Artizan Collective is seeking applications from artists and makers to take on Maker Takeover spaces in The Stalls as part of Delamore Arts 2026.
“After a successful first year in 2025 we’re looking forward to revisiting what we anticipate will be a popular feature of Delamore Arts 2026, both for artists and audiences. The Maker Takeovers are a great opportunity to sell direct to Delamore’s regular annual collectors, who value the chance to meet artists and makers face to face to hear about their practice.” Julie Brandon, Director Artizan Collective
This is a selective call to which we are inviting applications.
OVERVIEW
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.
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
This year the model will remain largely the same but we’re adding more flexibility for booking spaces. The opportunity offers fair style stands for individual makers and artists to take on for mid-week and weekend blocks. Each stall is self-contained and can be setup with your own exhibition and display equipment, with electricity provided and general lighting of the block.
- Participation in exclusive “micro” maker fair
- Self-contained stalls in a unique setting
- Opportunity to be a part of one of Devon’s best loved arts events with 6000+ visitors annually
