Art plus Frames

You'll find Art plus Frames tucked away in Exeter, and it's the sort of place that rewards a proper browse if you're into contemporary work or looking for something original to take home. The gallery itself stocks a rotating mix of paintings, prints, and framed pieces - both established names and emerging artists worth watching. The framing service here is their bread and butter, which means they actually know their stuff when it comes to presentation; the team won't just shove your canvas behind glass and call it done.

It's genuinely useful if you're the type who picks up art at fairs or wants to commission something specific. A quick visit takes thirty minutes or so, longer if you're seriously shopping. Not one for the kids unless they're genuinely interested in the work - there's no interactive element, just good-quality pieces and proper craftsmanship. Head in on a weekday morning if you want to chat with staff without jostling past tourists.

If you're staying at Sunsets & Marshmallows Glamping just outside the city, this is an easy pop-in between countryside walks. Exeter city centre has plenty more galleries and cafes nearby, so you can string together a decent afternoon without backtracking. Whether you leave with a new piece or just some inspiration is neither here nor there - it's the sort of gallery that doesn't try too hard, and that's precisely why it works.
