Arts Residencies
Dartington Trust has a rich history in providing a space for artists to develop their work. Our founders, Dorothy and Leonard Elmhirst invited many artists to come to Dartington, and those long-term residencies resulted in the growth of a thriving artistic community.
Artists in residence have included: Ana Maria Pacheco, Sarah Gillespie, Tom Hammick, Tamim al Barghouti, Harrison Birtwistle, Belarus Free Theatre, Tom Marshman, Counterpoints Arts, Emily Powell, and Cyland Media Lab,
