Art and Photography Competition, Exhibition and Sale

Date: September 28th

Time: 11:00am - 4:00pm

Location: Coombe Park Sanctuary

Price: Free

Imagine strolling around a peaceful Devon pony sanctuary surrounded by beautiful, original equine artwork inspired by the theme of ‘wellbeing’. 

Following the success of Kathy Nettles’ exclusive fundraising art event at The Mare and Foal Sanctuary last year, you’re invited to a special art and photography exhibition and sale showcasing the work of creatives across the Southwest and beyond. 

This could be your opportunity to own spectacular original art kindly donated by talented artists and Mare and Foal Sanctuary supporters’ Jackie Henderson and Rosalind Summers. 

And if you love creating your own artwork, you’re invited to take part in the Mare and Foal Sanctuary’s first ever art competition by sharing your interpretation of horses and ponies with wellbeing as a central focus. It’s free to enter original work in any of the four appropriate categories:  

• Original art (mixed media) 
• Children’s Art (children under 16 years) 
• Photography 
• Mare and Foal Sanctuary staff and volunteers 

Works will be judged by local experts with prizes for the winners and highly commended in each category. The deadline for entries is Friday 20th September.

At this special equine art event you’ll also get the chance to meet many of our rescued ponies and horses on guided tours throughout the day, enjoy light refreshments and browse our pop-up charity shop selling artist supplies.  

Entry is free, so reserve your tickets today.
