Day 1: Artist Trail - The Great Torre Abbey Paint Out

Experience a weekend of outdoor art inspired by the plein air tradition, as ten professional artists take over the Torbay coastline to capture our local landscape, inviting you to see familiar surroundings through entirely fresh, creative eyes.

Ten professional artists will be working on location, mapping the landscape between the historic grounds of Torre Abbey and the iconic Pavilion. Will you stumble across a couple of them, or walk the whole route? Whichever it is, you will discover the natural beauty of the Bay and see the coastline - and these anchor heritage landmarks - in a new light.

The Great Torre Abbey Paint Out Artist Trail follows the Art on Your Doorstep route and the Agatha Christie Mile, taking in the open spaces of the seafront. There are ten artists to meet, all stationed at key vantage points with unique views, including Princess Gardens, the historic facade of the Pavilion, and the surroundings of Agatha’s Bench. Walk the trail, engage with the practitioners, and see our familiar coastal landscape from a fresh artistic perspective.
