Welcome to our Creative Cabinet – art and nature on tour.
Thelma Hulbert Gallery (THG) goes out and about into the local community with the Creative Cabinet. This is a fun and creative art space to explore art and nature in your neighbourhood. We host a broad range of activities, projects, talks, films, performances and workshops which creatively explore our relationship to nature and the climate emergency.
The Creative Cabinet – a space to create, explore, learn and discover!
The Cabinet is the new version of our popular Creative Cabin travelling art space, which delivered art activities across East Devon while the gallery was closed during lockdown.
The Creative Cabinet is out on the road with exciting art activities this summer and we are also out visiting schools. For events near you, visit our What’s On section.
Creative Cabin
CREATIVE CABIN SHORTS – while our Creative Cabin was grounded during lockdown, we brought you an inspiring digital programme of short films. Working with SW artists, rangers and practitioners, CREATIVE CABIN SHORTS connected to nature and the landscapes around us.
The Creative Cabin was awarded ‘HIGHLY COMMENDED’ in the national 2021 Museum + Heritage Awards in the Pandemic Pivot category.
Exploring the themes of nature and art, the Creative Cabin was made possible by ARTIST ROOMS with the support of Art Fund, Arts Council England and Heritage Lottery Community Fund and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
Education and Outreach
As well as individuals and families, the cabin brings activities to groups most in need including schools, colleges, Memory Cafés, Devon Recovery Learning Community, Devon Young Carers, Refugee Support Groups, Devon Insight, and Headlight – an Action East Devon service for young people encountering mental health issues.
Our Engagement officer, Anna Aroussi has been awarded the prestigious Marsh Award in 2021 for dedication and excellence in Gallery Education.
