Artbeat, the annual art exhibition held in Sidmouth, runs from September 4 to 13, showcasing work from 10 East Devon artists working across various mediums including painting, printmaking, sculpture, and crafts. The display features an array of work from emerging and established artists, with many pieces available for purchase. Exmouth Town Cryer Roger Bourgein will mark the occasion on Saturday, September 5, with a proclamation in Sidmouth town centre, joined by participating artist June Murrell. Printmaker Bente Kumar, known for her contemporary screen prints, is also exhibiting new monoprints created at Sidmouth’s South West Art Space. Visitors are encouraged to engage with the artists during the exhibition, with at least two present at all times to discuss their work.
