The studios are opening!

This unprecedented year has given Devon Artist Network the chance to try something new, by taking on Claire Bryson and her Exeter based company ‘Design the New’ - a digital agency that helps clients bring their ideas to the right people online.

The DAN Board have collaborated with artists to reimagine and meet the needs of the artists involved this year, focusing on a larger scale digital marketing campaign and creating an online ‘flippable’ brochure. Artizan Collective another Devon company, have been commissioned to create several films about the artists to be presented within the promotions.

For sixteen years Devon Artist Network (DAN) has championed the individual, self-employed artists and galleries in Devon, including supporting artists through economic hard times. This year will be no exception. The event connects our artists with local art lovers and the many visitors to the region. Devon is brimming with talented artists working in studios that are keen to open to the general public, giving their work exposure, feedback, and sales.

‘Our boutique digital marketing approach brings a level of passion and a deep connection with every account, “says Claire Bryson, “Our whole team and its collective experience are laser-focused on telling the right story. With our social media experience we know just how to take all this content and spark relevant conversations artists and followers, we’re very excited to be working with so many creative people in Devon for this event.’

Many Devon artists have suffered extreme financial hardship during the lockdown period and Devon Open Studios enables them to sell their work without commission straight to the public, allowing a crucial economic boost in these unprecedented times. DAN will continue to place the health and safety of artists and visitors at the forefront of their thinking and will keep a careful watch on how the next few months unfold. A framework of guidelines has been established so that artists can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors.
