2026

Two more events. One unforgettable autumn.

 There’s still plenty happening at Magenta Fine Art before we swap the gallery buzz for cosy winter hibernation! 🍂

We have TWO exciting events left to share with you this year – one celebrating the creative spirit of our North Devon coastline, the other exploring the fascinating history of Ilfracombe through fashion and heritage.

From art, surfing and conservation to local history and style, there’s something a little different on the horizon. Read on for all the details, and come and be part of it!

KINDRED TIDES | 10-18TH October

Art. Community. Surfing. Conservation.

Magenta Fine Art has teamed up with local photographer Georgia Buckley to bring you Kindred Tides – a collaborative mixed media exhibition celebrating the creative spirit of our coastline. Bringing together local photography, painting and sculpture, this special one-week exhibition explores our connection to the sea, the coastline and the place we call home.

Join us ON SATURDAY 10TH OCTOBER for an exclusive opening night featuring a special panel discussion with North Devon Surfing Reserve, as we dive into one big question:

Can Art Save a Coastline?

Expect thought-provoking conversations, inspiring local creativity and a celebration of the people and places that make North Devon so special.
