Chelston Gallery in Torquay, offers a bespoke picture framing service and has regular exhibitions in its gallery section. A particular feature of the pictures exhibited and for sale is that the artists all come from in and around the Torbay area - including Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, and Dartmoor, South Hams and Teignbridge areas.
The gallery, which probably hosts Torbay's largest collection of original local art for sale, has held solo and group exhibitions by more than 40 artists and has a display of work by around 25 regular artists. Full details about the services offered and some biographical information about the artists whose work appears at the gallery can be found on the Chelston Gallery website (see link above).
