GENERAL EXHIBITION INFORMATION

Information about the artist & their work is made available in the café. We also put information & images of the artist's work on this website & usually on 'ning' the interactive community part of the website where you can view a short video of some of the artists talking about their work, in the café gallery.

All artworks are for sale unless marked otherwise and a list of works with prices will be available in the café. Please see a member of staff if you would like to buy a painting. Please make a cheque out to the artist. Alternatively you can pay cash. Unfortunately we cannot accept credit card payments for artworks. (There are a number of cash points nearby).

Local art

The Real Food Store is a community owned business, committed to growing a vibrant local food economy. We believe in the power & relevance of art & we are pleased that our café provides a gallery space ideal for the exhibition of wall-mounted art works. We are particularly keen to exhibit the work of artists who explore the relationships between people, animals, plants & landscape- & of course food. High quality work by local artists- (Exeter, Devon & surrounding counties). Our approach is inclusive & we are open to submissions from solo artists, artist collectives & community art organisations- working in a range of different media. We want to uphold a high standard & a level of craftsmanship that reflects the skill & beauty inherent in growing, producing & transforming food. 

Exhibition programme

Exhibitions are coordinated by Sarah Collier, a founder member of Real Food. The time available  & resources for putting on exhibitions is limited. We are receiving an increasing number of expressions of interest from artists. The exhibitions we host will therefore be the ones that we think best relate to our ethos & best suit our café environment. We already have a great track record of exhibitions featuring the work of a number of accomplished artists based in the South West. Our aim is to run an excellent exhibitions programme despite limited resources. All the artists who contact Real Food will hear back from us as soon as possible. Please in the first instance please .
