The Burton Art Gallery and Museum is over 65 years old. With its friendly team of staff and volunteers, it has been celebrating, exhibiting and nurturing all kinds of artists since being established on 31 October, 1951 by Thomas Burton and Hubert Coop.
This widely known and respected Art Society has historic links to the Burton Art Gallery & Museum in Bideford, North Devon. Members of the Society include painters, printmakers, sculptors, wood-carvers, potters and textile artists.
We are a lived-experience led organisation. All our staff – and many of our Trustees – have experience of a significant bereavement, some from a very young age.
Our youth centre provides a unique & SAFE SPACE for young people aged 11 – 19 from across the Bideford area. With a wealth of creative activities including cooking, pool competitions, table tennis, a music studio & outdoor games.. there's more!
