Voyage Art Galleries and Workshops

Voyage Art Galleries and Workshops occupies a prominent three-storey building at 11 Somerset Place in the heart of Teignmouth’s Arts Quarter. The space incorporates four artists’ studios alongside three distinct galleries, with the largest gallery functioning as a dedicated area for practical art sessions. This arrangement creates a dynamic environment where creative activity unfolds across different levels.

The ground floor houses a shop that stocks a varied selection of items produced by local and regional artisans. Paintings in various styles sit alongside limited-edition prints, hand-thrown ceramics, fused glass pieces, bespoke jewellery, and upcycled objects. These works reflect the breadth of talent within Devon, offering pieces that range from representational landscapes to more experimental forms.

Upstairs, the galleries present rotating exhibitions focused on artists based in the surrounding area. Displays have included abstract works, detailed wildlife drawings, photographic studies, and mixed-media explorations. The open studios form a key element of the experience, enabling direct observation of artists as they develop new pieces using oils, watercolours, or other materials. This transparency into the artistic process adds depth to any visit.

Workshops and classes run regularly within the main gallery space, covering techniques such as watercolour painting, life drawing, resin crafting, and ceramic modelling.

Sessions accommodate different experience levels, from those new to artistic practice to individuals seeking to refine existing skills. Tutors drawn from the local creative community lead these activities, sharing methods honed through their own work.

Voyage Art maintains links to broader ethical initiatives through its association with fair trade products, integrating sustainably sourced items alongside the locally made art and crafts. The venue plays an active role in supporting Devon’s artistic network by providing exhibition opportunities and studio access to emerging and established practitioners.

Feedback indicates that the galleries and shop rate well with a good number of reviews, with particular appreciation expressed for the range of artworks on display and the supportive setting for creative engagement. The combination of exhibition spaces, working studios, and practical tuition positions Voyage Art as a central point for artistic activity in Teignmouth.
