Summer Markets and Exhibitions


Summer is well and truly here and it's such a good time to get out and about and meet the public. To this end, I'm trying out some new local markets, and I'll be exhibiting again at the Artemis Collective Summer Salon, in Plymouth.

Summer Markets

Almanac: 5th July 10 am -4pm

As usual, I'll be at the Almanac Cafe Makers Market on Saturday 5th July, 10 am -4pm at 32 Batter Street, Plymouth PL4 0EN. This is a small market, but has a dedicated band of visitors and the cafe is lovely place to spend a day, so I always look forward to it.

The Little Oddities Craft Market : 12th July 11am -4.30pm
Barbican Theatre, Castle Street, Plymouth, PL1 2NJ

My first time at this venue, but the organisers are great and will be including lots of fund raising for Plymouth Pride as part of the event.

Native Makers, Devonport: 25th July 10 am -4pm
Duke St, Devonport, Plymouth PL1 4PS

Another first for me, this well regarded market is blessed with good footfall and willing buyers, so fingers crossed!

Exhibition:
Artemis Collective Summer Salon: 15th - 31st August:
Manor Street Galleries, 14-17 Manor St, Stonehouse, Plymouth PL1 1TL

Hosted by Plymouth's Artemis Collective, a diverse exhibition, showcasing a wide range of work by Plymouth artists.

Latest Art

Some recent paintings inspired by a visit to wonderful West Cornwall. The far west of Cornwall has a character and an atmosphere all of its own. As usual, I was drawn to the less obviously tourist bits, like Penzance's semi industrial harbour and the often overlooked little town of St. Just, the most westerly town on the British mainland.

Chris Stone Artist

I am a Plymouth based artist. I love to create original paintings of the places and landscapes i love, mostly in Devon and Cornwall, but also beyond. I'm particularly interested in the faded beauty of everyday things that surround us and that many of us take for granted.

Chris Stone Artist Newsletter April 2026 Spring Has Sprung! As spring dawns, there are many changes afoot.

I'm opting to draw some pension and use the time to grow my little art business. As a result, I will have more time for art and makers markets and exhibitions, as well as offering commissions. More on all that below. My lovely subscribers...
