Who we are

Based in Moretonhampstead and one of Devon's most prominent Art Galleries, Green Hill  is attracting the attention of some of the most respected South West Artists. Names such as Peter Randall-Page, Susan Derges, and Peter Stiles have become synonymous with Green Hill over the last five years  having exhibited in the Gallery's large attractive contemporary space, and supported Green Hill’s developing programme.

Within this imaginatively converted former Primary School there is an Art Shop, and creative workspaces for hire, mixed use offices, a Youth Centre and Heritage Archive.

Our Heritage

From Bronze Age settlements to this year’s carnival, you can explore Moretonhampstead’s rich heritage at Greenhill. Touch-screen presentations, visual materials and locally written books and pamphlets are on permanent display together with exhibitions in the gallery. If you would like help researching the history of local people and places, please look at the wealth of archive materials at Green Hill listed at www.moretonarchives.org.uk and some are also reproduced at www.moretonhampstead.org.uk. Use the contact tab on either website if you have any inquiries or would like to consult the archives in person. Please let us know also if you have any documents, photos or artefacts of local people and places that we could archive or make a copy for the archives.

Measuring just over 56 m²  the exhibition space is contemporary, light and airy, offering a versatile backdrop for any installation. The adaptable hanging system is discrete and the lighting precise, allowing for subtlety and drama whether work is hung or freestanding.

The space is available for hire at certain times within the planned programme with curatorial assistance. PR and event previews can be organised. A new exhibition is held roughly every six weeks offering visitors a varied programme of contemporary visual art, explored through associated talks and presentations.

Green Hill reinforces its presence in the community by regularly drawing in local artists; an annual 'Local Open' showcases work from around Dartmoor. The aim is to stimulate curiosity through Art which captures the imagination and allows exposure to new mediums and genres.

GET INVOLVED IN TWO NEW PROJECTS - 

We are thrilled to announce that Arts Council England have approved our bid for £33,826 to fund our ‘Dartmoor Vision’ project.  Dartmoor Vision extends the work of Green Hill Arts beyond the gallery and into the local community. 

This two year project will pilot a residency programme that invites artists to have a dialogue with our unique locality, using contemporary art to engage in a creative process of place-making and re-imagining the lives of residents and visitors to our town.  

“We are thrilled at the prospect of partnerships being activated to support meaningful engagement, animate public space and form a hub for the surrounding rural arts ecology” said Andrea Foxwell, Chair of Green Hill Arts.

The National Lottery, Awards for All scheme is funding an ‘off-shoot’ of the main project called ‘Growing Dartmoor’ to the tune of £10,000 – this is based on growing and sharing vegetables and flowers fit for two feasts which will be happening in Moretonhampstead  this Summer”.

In essence, the main aim of both projects is to inspire a wide range of people, bring people together and break down barriers to accessing contemporary art, workshops and performances.  It really is a ‘growing’ thing……………..GET INVOLVED - email georgie@greenhillarts.co.uk for more info
