Who we are

Based in Moretonhampstead and one of Devon's most prominent art galleries, Green Hill Arts is attracting the attention of some of the most respected South West Artists. Names such as Peter Randall-Page, Susan Derges, and Peter Stiles have become synonymous with Green Hill Arts over the last five years  having exhibited in the Gallery's large attractive contemporary space, and supported the galleries developing programme.

Within this imaginatively converted former primary school there is an art gallery, shop, creative workspaces, mixed use offices, a Youth Centre and Heritage Archive.

The Gallery

The Green Hill Arts Gallery is open Wednesday - Saturday, from 10:00am until 4:00pm.

Measuring just over 56 m²  the exhibition space is contemporary, light and airy, offering a versatile backdrop for any installation. The adaptable hanging system is discrete and the lighting precise, allowing for subtlety and drama whether work is hung or freestanding.

A new exhibition is held roughly every six weeks, offering visitors a varied program of contemporary visual art, explored through associated talks and presentations. Green Hill Arts reinforces its presence in the community by regularly drawing in local artists.

We welcome new artists in both our exhibition space and our shop. For more information about exhibiting with us, please contact billie@greenhillarts.co.uk

Moretonhampstead development trust

Moretonhampstead Development Trust is a registered charity (Registered Charity No 1105114 Company Ltd by Guarantee No 5133939) that was established to cater to our community’s wants and needs, and drive change. Our team works hard to ensure Moretonhampstead is a flourishing, dynamic place to live and visit, where every person feels included and supported.

Moretonhampstead Development Trust has helped to form various organisations, some of which are now independent. This includes Moretonhampstead Information Centre, Moretonhampstead Association for Youth, and NEDCare. Although they are independent, we still work closely with them and with a number of other local organisations. Many of these are through Green Hill Arts and Wellmoor.

The Trust’s key focus areas include, but are not limited to, health and well-being, arts and heritage, environmental sustainability, affordable housing, and local economy support.
