Supporting local creativity
Sou'-Sou'-West Gallery is part of Lyme Bay Arts, a CIC (Community Interest Company) Not for Profit organisation. We offer opportunities to exhibit through our open exhibitions and venue hire. Our four flexible spaces are constantly changing enabling both locals and visitors of all ages to enjoy a huge variety of inspiration throughout the year.
Situated on the beautiful Symondsbury Estate with free parking, restaurant and other retail opportunities is the Sou’-Sou’-West Gallery and makers shop.
If you are interested in creating your own artwork then you can find a selection of good quality, affordable art materials provided by the renowned Seawhite brand. Products include water soluble coloured pencils, sable brushes, sketchbooks and canvases. So gain inspiration from the diverse range of painting exhibitions and then take a memento away with you to remember this special place tucked away at the base of Colmers Hill.

Autumn Open for All Artworks
Bringing brightness to the darkening days of the year.
We have opened up the entire gallery spaces for this Open show and have welcomed work of all descriptions, materials and techniques to sparkle and bring delight as the nights draw in.
Exhibitions
Textile Experience
A gentle morning of stitch with Kara Chambers.
Finding The Still Point is the first in a series of mindful making workshops following the Celtic wheel of the year and seasonal changes. In this workshop we will explore the art of slow stitching and a mindful approach to making, using fabric collage and Sashiko stitching techniques to create a small stitched piece that represents the winter solstice.
This workshop can be enjoyed as a stand alone experience or as part of the series. All abilities welcome.
