ASSOCIATE ARTIST SCHEME
Coombe Farm Studios was created over thirty five years ago by artists, for artists. The Associate Artist scheme ensures we continue to place artists and artistic practice at the heart of all that we do. Linking us to artists who leave nearby, they provide essential critical feedback and feed into our programmes, they also have teaching opportunities and access to spaces at Coombe to work, learn or showcase work.
Our current associate artists are Sarah Gillespie, Josephine Birch, Emma Bush and Kate Marshall. They work across drawing and printmaking and use our studio spaces, exhibit in the galleries and teach on our courses. Together we are constantly questioning, nudging, encouraging, challenging, inspiring and supporting one another.
“Devon really is home to some amazing creative artists but sometimes it can feel like we all get stuck down our own valleys, or atop our own hills, so having a place to explore our real and imaginary landscapes together is fantastic.”
