The 2023 Sculpture Exhibition is now open, and will run to 31 October.
There has been an annual exhibition at Stone Lane Gardens since 1992
Co-founder June Ashburner was a painter and local gallerist. She invited the strong local arts community to exhibit their work in the garden. They produced a diverse exhibition of sculpture and installations. We endeavour to sustain that legacy of diversity with an exhibition illustrating the continuing creativity of emerging artists based in or connected to the South West.
The theme for this year’s exhibition is “A sense of place”. It was opened, by judge Neil Musson, on 31st May, with the announcement of the winner: Ashburner Prize Winner (2023) is David Newman for Undefined Forms.

Our gratitude and thanks to the 2023 selectors: this year’s Ashburner prize winner was chosen by a panel of three: Neil Musson, a renowned international artist; Professor Paul Fieldsend-Danks, Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive Arts University Plymouth; David Savage, Stone Lane Garden Trustee.
Stone Lane Garden is a beautifully landscaped RHS Partner Garden with National Collections of Birch and Alder trees. Groves of trees, pools and streams create a magical exhibition setting loved by artists and visitors of all ages.
