26th March – 26th April 2025

Green Hill Arts presents Altered Realities, a groundbreaking new exhibition that explores the convergence of sculpture, media, light, and architectural space. The exhibition will feature the dynamic collaboration between two artists, Tony Weaver and Kelly Bryant, who will be creating work live in the gallery space throughout the first two weeks of the exhibition, in response to their own evolving ideas, the space and its history. 

Altered Realities is a celebration of process—the act of reacting is as central to this exhibition as the finished works themselves. Weaver, a sculptor, and Bryant, a media artist, are committed to exploring how sculptural work and the transient nature of light and projection can combine to form new, immersive spaces. Their collaborative efforts will engage with the surfaces of the objects and those that surround them, evolving organically as the exhibition unfolds.  

Viewers will experience a sense of altered perception, with the goal of expanding how we read and interpret the spaces and objects around us. As Weaver notes, the aim is to "bend and twist your perception in order to give you something more." 

Altered Realities promises to be a transformative experience—one where the audience’s perception will be shaped by the specific moment they visit. As the exhibition evolves over time, each visitor will encounter a unique version of the work, influenced by the ongoing creative process and the changing relationship between the artist's work, the building, and the environment. Viewer’s experience of the exhibition will depend entirely on the date they visit, offering new layers and insights with each passing day. The private view (which will take place in early April) will offer an exclusive first look at the completed works.

Even In The Dark – A Solo Exhibition by Rose-Marie Caldecott
2nd May to 31st May 2025

Discover the powerful work of Rose-Marie Caldecott at Green Hill Arts. Running from 2nd May to 31st May 2025, this exhibition invites visitors to experience Rose-Marie’s exploration of grief, loss, and the transformative process of moving through darkness. 

Since moving to Devon in 2020, Caldecott has used painting as a way to navigate the emotional landscape of grief. Through her innovative use of oil paints—carving through layers of dark pigment to reveal pinpricks of light—she captures the tension between sorrow and hope, and the delicate balance between life and death. 

This exhibition is not merely a collection of paintings, but an embodied experience of the artist’s journey. Emotional trauma is often raw and beyond words, and Rose-Marie’s works give voice to these experiences. Darkness, though initially overwhelming, gradually reveals itself to be alive and dynamic. Her paintings ask: is this what it means to truly dwell in darkness—not to shut it out, but to stay with it, to live with it? 

The gallery will feature subtly shifting lighting, transforming the atmosphere as you move through the space, offering new perspectives of each painting. Visitors can also experience the artwork accompanied by specially composed music, enhancing their connection to the perspectives within the pieces and to the artist herself. 

Each of Rose-Marie’s paintings is a testament to the process of remembering, the emotional weight of grief, and the passage of time. They evoke the artist’s inner journey - each brushstroke a reflection of processing pain and finding light in the darkness. There is a sense of movement in each piece, as if the viewer is witnessing a constant flux, a visual memoir of a life lost and rediscovered through art. 

This exhibition is a reminder of the transformative power of art and the courage required to face darkness. It offers a space to reflect, feel, and experience the possibility of connection even in the darkest moments of life. 

Entry is free. Green Hill Arts gallery is open 10:00am – 4:00pm daily, from Wednesday to Saturday. The gallery is situated at the top of Fore Street, Moretonhampstead, close to the Parish Church. Parking is available in the Court Street and Station Road car parks.

Saturday Slow Stitch Sessions

(with Textile Artist Melinda Schwakhofer)

10:00am - 1:00pm

Saturday Slow Stitch is a gentle, loosely structured session to sit and stitch together. You will learn the basics of hand stitching and some new stitches, but the emphasis will be on letting your own creativity unfold.

Slow Stitch is a meditative and mindful practice where the process of the movement of needle and thread through fabric is as important, if not more so, than the goal of producing a finished piece of work.

Moretonhampstead-based Melinda is a self-taught artist whose artwork has been exhibited internationally and collected by the New York Public Library, The Muscogee Nation, the RAMM in Exeter, and the British Museum. Since 2016 Melinda has been hosting supportive spaces for others to explore and discover the simple joys of creativity as well as the deeply healing aspects of artmaking.

We meet once a month (upstairs) in Green Hill Arts in Moretonhampstead. Our next sessions are on:

• Saturday 17th May 2025

• Saturday 21st June 2025

• Saturday 19th July 2025

These sessions are suitable for beginning to advanced stitchers, and one to one tuition is offered as needed. Materials and refreshments are provided.

You can bring along an ongoing project or an idea, and Melinda will help you bring it to life. Or, we will have something to inspire us at each session, such as learning a new stitch, eco-dyeing, stitching on paper…and more.

Please contact info@melindaschwakhofer.com for more information.

Rose-Marie Caldecott in Concert: Threads of Light 

May 17th  

7:00pm - 8:30pm  

Join us for an intimate evening with artist, singer, and songwriter Rose-Marie Caldecott. On May 17th, Rose-Marie will perform a selection of her evocative songs, offering a rare opportunity to experience the intersection of her musical practice and her visual artwork.  

The performance will be enhanced by a small choir, who will sing from behind the audience, their voices resonating in the dark, adding a haunting depth to the experience. 

This concert marks a return to songwriting after a period of personal grief and reflection. Rose-Marie’s most recent music reflects themes of loss, healing, and the search for light in dark spaces—echoing the emotional landscape of her exhibition, Even In The Dark. The evening promises to be a powerful and transformative experience, where the boundaries between visual art and sound blur, offering a deeper connection to the artist's creative process.  

Don't miss this unique opportunity to experience Rose-Marie Caldecott’s work in a completely new light.

£10 per person

(A bar will be available on-site, offering a selection of drinks to enjoy during the event.)

Green Hill Arts presents Widdershins 3, an extraordinary gathering of renowned mythical and fantasy artists whose works evoke the mystery of Dartmoor.

Dartmoor is a place rich in history, folklore, and legend. Home to a vibrant community of artists, Dartmoor has long been a source of creative energy, and this exhibition explores how its wild, rugged beauty and ancient history shape the imaginations of those who live here or have strong connections to this enchanting land.

The exhibition features work by renowned artists including Alan Lee, Terri Windling, and Brian and Wendy Froud. These celebrated figures have captivated audiences around the world and have introduced generations to books and films such as The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, The Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit.

This exhibition explores Dartmoor’s timeless role as a place of magic, where boundaries between the mundane and the mystical blur. From the sweeping moors and ancient stone circles to the hidden creatures and spirits said to roam its hills, Dartmoor provides a perfect backdrop for stories of the fantastical and the otherworldly. This year’s exhibition promises a diverse array of artistic responses including painting, photography, sculpture, costume, illustration and film.

Walking “Widdershins” (counter-clockwise) is the traditional way to enter the realm of myth and enchantment, and we invite you to do just that - come and experience the magic of Dartmoor through the eyes of its artists. Immerse yourself in the creative journey that celebrates both the wild beauty of the moor and the rich folklore that has been passed down through generations.

Full list of participating artists is as follows: Angharad Barlow, Danielle Barlow, Hazel Brown, Diane Coates, Jim Crawley, Brian Froud, Wendy Froud, Toby Froud, Amorel Hamilton, Alan Lee, Marja Lee, Virginia Lee, Pauline Lee, Claire Shauna Saunders, Andrew Sinclair, Rima Staines, Natalie Simpson, Terri Windling, and David Wyatt.
