/ @allerparkstudios take-over / - Here’s Aller Park in the sunshine this summer. A Grade II listed building, Aller Park was designed by Ides van der Gracht (of New York architects Delano & Aldrich) and built on the estate between 1929 and 1931. - Formerly home to Dartington School, where pedagogy was informed by creative educationalist John Dewey, the building was closed in 1987. Three spaces are now in use as artists' studios and for @allerparkstudios events. - We feel very fortunate to be working here and to be able to welcome people into the building for events. - www.allerparkstudios.art . - #allerpark #allerparkstudios #artiststudios #artistled #programme #acesupported #dartington #dartingtonhallestate . - photo: Aubrey Simpson @by.aubrey @dartingtonhall
