Green Hill Arts begins 2026 with Ways of Belonging, an exhibition exploring how a sense of home is created, remembered, and imagined.

Featuring the paintings of Peter Stiles and Danny Holmes-Adams, the show reflects on how landscapes, interiors, objects, and fleeting moments shape our experience of connection and comfort. It considers how memory and attention infuse these experiences with meaning, asking the quiet but profound question: what makes us feel at home? 

In Holmes-Adams’s still lifes, ordinary objects take on a gentle significance, reflecting the subtle rhythms of daily life. Stiles’s interiors and landscapes, shaped through immediacy and careful reworking, reveal how time, memory, and perception layer themselves into a place. Together, their work traces two complementary routes to belonging: through the objects and rhythms of daily life, and through the shifting spaces and landscapes that frame our days. The exhibition suggests that home is not just a location, but a feeling cultivated through observation, memory, and quiet reflection. 

Visit the Exhibition 
Entry is free. Green Hill Arts is open 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, Wednesday to Saturday. The gallery is located at the top of Fore Street, Moretonhampstead, near the Parish Church. Parking is available in Court Street and Station Road car parks. 

What the Ground Remembers brings together Devon-based artists Steve Thorpe, Kate Lyons Miller and Paul Devon Young in an exhibition centered on process, material, and the earth beneath our feet. 

The three artists are united through creative process. Each begins with materials gathered directly from the local landscape: stone is ground into pigment, clay dug and refined by hand, minerals collected from paths, hills, and coastline. Their practices are physical, deliberate, and deeply rooted in the ground, transforming raw matter through hands-on processes that are as much about attention and time as they are about craft. 

By focusing on how the artists work, the exhibition highlights the active relationship between people and the land they move across. Grinding, digging, carrying, and containing become acts of engagement. Together, the artists reveal how material shapes process, and how process shapes understanding of the earth. 

At the heart of the exhibition is an attention to earth as something ancient and enduring, material formed over unimaginable spans of time, shaped by pressure, heat, and movement long before human presence. In working directly with stone, clay, and mineral, the artists bring us into contact with these deep histories. The works suggest that the ground itself carries memory: that rock holds its own story of formation and change. Set against such vast timescales, human gestures appear brief and fragile, yet also connective - small acts of touch within a much larger span of time and space. 

In a world increasingly experienced through screens, What the Ground Remembers invites visitors to slow down, consider how materials are worked, and encounter the grounding simplicity of attention, touch, and soil.

Art Unpacked

Exhibition: What the Ground Remembers
Date: Thursday, 23rd April
Time: 7:00pm - 8:00pm

A reflective workshop exploring themes from our current exhibition.

Have you ever walked into a gallery and wondered if you were missing something? Questioned what the artist is trying to do, or how to find your own meaning in the work?

Art Unpacked offers a welcoming space to slow down, look closely and explore contemporary art together.

In each session, we focus on a small selection of works from the exhibition. Through guided discussion, we reflect on the themes they raise, the questions they ask and the personal responses they spark. Together, we begin to build a practical toolkit for approaching modern and contemporary art with greater confidence.

Informal and conversational in style, these sessions are open to anyone curious about contemporary art. No prior knowledge is required.

Sessions are facilitated by Tony Weaver, former HE Lead for Art, Design and Media at South Devon College, who brings extensive experience in arts education and has volunteered with Green Hill Arts for several years.

Over 18s welcome. Tickets £5 per person.

The Red Dress by Kirsty Macleod is coming to Green Hill Arts!

In Summer 2027, for four weeks, this internationally celebrated artwork, will make its first-ever journey to Dartmoor. As a small rural gallery, we are honoured to host the dress, with free access for all visitors.

Since 2009, The Red Dress has travelled the world as a global collaborative artwork, bringing together hundreds of contributors, many from marginalised or underrepresented communities, who share their stories through stitch. Together, these personal stories form a powerful collective work.

We look forward to welcoming those new to the project, as well as followers of its journey. We also hope to build a programme of local workshops and community activities inspired by its themes.

More details coming soon!
