Call us on 01803 847147
“Our vision is to create a vibrant hub for the south west region and visiting national and international artists. A space where emerging talent can work alongside established artists at the top of their profession. A space in which we offer first class facilities for a range of art forms and which enables and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration. A space that enables the arts to connect with pressing issues of social justice and sustainability.”
Dartington: Arts, Social Justice, Sustainability
Dartington is a major cultural centre that brings together work in the arts, social justice and sustainability. Combining history and modernism, tranquillity and experiment, the 1200-acre Dartington estate has been an inspiration to artists, philosophers and social entrepreneurs as diverse as Kurt Jooss, Peter Maxwell Davies, Ravi Shankar, Michael Young and Jonathan Porritt.
Space
Space, a multidisciplinary centre for the arts, opened in spring 2011 to provide the largest collection of high quality performing arts spaces available in the South West of England. Space includes 8 large performing arts studios, a large multipurpose makers’ studio / workshop space, a gallery and 2 smaller rehearsal studios / meeting rooms.
Live performances, film and sound recording can be accommodated – call us to discuss this further. Any requests for hires for public events will be considered by the Arts Producing team to ensure they meet our artistic objectives.
