\n Artisan Art Gallery, located at No 1 Chapel Hill, will officially open on Saturday, October 25, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by world-renowned artist Mackenzie Thorpe.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Mayor of Exmouth and other distinguished guests will also be in attendance.\n<\/p>\n
\n Jon Ripley, founder of the gallery, said: “Art belongs to all of us.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This gallery is about breaking down barriers and creating a space where artists and the public can come together to share, reflect, and inspire.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Designed with accessibility in mind, the gallery features step-free entry, wide corridors, and a calming environment to ensure all visitors can engage with art comfortably.\n<\/p>\n
\n The opening event will include a debut exhibition titled Origins, featuring work by 20 artists.\n<\/p>\n
\n The event will begin at 12pm and continue into the evening, with opportunities to meet artists, curators, and other members of the community.\n<\/p>\n
\n Locally brewed coffee and canap\u00e9s will be served throughout the day, and guests will be encouraged to share their ideas and feedback with the gallery\u2019s team.\n<\/p>\n
\n As night falls, the gallery will be transformed into a performance space with live music from a local musician.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Ripley said: “Our goal is to make art an everyday experience.\n<\/p>\n
\n “From children discovering colour for the first time, to adults finding new perspectives, this gallery is for everyone.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The gallery aims to become a cultural hub for the town, hosting regular exhibitions, artist talks, and workshops.\n<\/p>\n
\n It also plans to collaborate with schools, nonprofits, and local businesses on public art and educational projects.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “This gallery is about breaking down barriers and creating a space where artists and the public can come together to share, reflect, and inspire.”\n<\/p>\n
