Celebrating a Creative Paignton – Part of Wide Open

The Great Paignton Paint Out took place at the end of September 2023 a weekend of outdoor art inspired by plein air tradition, that with the help of ten professional artists, took over the streets and seafront to show off Paignton as a creative town like you’d never seen it before!

Now, we’re bringing together the first legacy exhibition from this incredible community event and showcasing some of the art that was created by you all. Open to artists of all backgrounds and abilities, through the exhibition we’ll continue to celebrate Paignton and welcome works that were captured before, during, and since the weekend of the town, its environment, and its people.

Open Tuesday – Sunday, 11:00-17:00 (16:00 on Sunday)

There will also be an evening launch event on Saturday 23rd March 6 – 8 pm

The Great Paignton Paint Out is part of “Wide Open” a programme of activity curated by Filament Works CIC and supported by Tonic Creatives CIC. It is funded as part of Torbay’s Cultural Development Fund, a Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) fund, administered by Arts Council England.
