Big Colyton Art Show

Welcome to the Big Colyton Art Show based at Colyton Grammar School in Colyford, Devon.

What is the Big Colyton Art Show?

Artworks by a selection of the finest artists, jewellers, sculptors and ceramicists from across the region. The Big Colyton Art Show is a gallery for high quality artwork.  This is primarily a fund-raising event for Colyton Grammar School in Devon.

What is Colyton Grammar School PA fund raising for and why?

All funds raised from the Show are being raised to support the school (Colyton Grammar School).  In this challenging financial environment, the school and the PA are exploring ways to fund capital developments without diverting funds from the classroom  Education funding is protected at national level but there have been changes in the way the money is distributed, leaving schools like Colyton with reduced funding. For more information about the PA, visit the website here: www.colytongrammarschoolpa.org.uk
