Artists have always been drawn to the Tamar Valley, ever since JMW Turner ‘discovered’ it in the early years of the 19th century.

Today, the valley is home to a diverse community of artists, 160 of the members of the Drawn to the Valley artists’ collective. The group, set up in 2003, has artists working in all formats. They hold
annual Open Studios and exhibitions together and support each other in their individual projects.

Now, for the first time, the collective is showing its work in the capital, with the ‘Drawn to London’ exhibition at the Royal Opera Arcade Gallery in Pall Mall on 21-27 October.
