Art Week Exeter is back for 2025, bringing a vibrant explosion of creativity to venues across the city from 9-15 June.

Now in its sixth edition, this bi-annual festival opens up access to contemporary and traditional art by celebrating what’s on in the city’s galleries and heritage spaces, and bringing art into the community at venues including cafes, churches, artist open studios, empty shops and bars. We have exhibitions and markets, pub quizzes and performances, artist films, artist talks and creative workshops – everything that the culturally curious could wish for right on your doorstep!

Art Week Exeter is for everyone – whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or a curious newcomer. We’re really excited to be including venues and communities who are far out of the city centre – bringing them into the fold and encouraging art lovers to explore further afield!

As well as visiting our well loved cultural venues, arts spaces and city centre pop-up’s, why not use the filters below to plan a visit to some of our exciting new venues in different wards across Exeter from Heavitree to Stokes Hill, St Thomas to the Quayside, Crediton to Topsham. We’re also running some super-friendly tours where people who don’t usually feel invited into galleries will be encouraged to ask questions, share thoughts, and explore what art really means in an open and welcoming space, with some tea and biscuits of course!
