Drawn to the Valley | Artists in Devon and Cornwall

United by our passion for the beautiful, but sometimes forgotten part of Devon and Cornwall

Drawn to the Valley was formed by artists themselves over 13 years ago, mainly as a support network, but also in order to promote the Tamar Valley area, bring the area of natural beauty to life through art.
