Thank you for your interest in White Sails Gallery.

White Sails Gallery was established in 2001. We are a busy, friendly gallery in the centre of Dartmouth. Our focus is on work full of life and colour, representing nature and our local environment. We strongly support the work of local artists, as well as representing a small number of nationally and internationally acclaimed artists from further afield. Each year, we aim to promote and support six emerging artists, by invitation.

White Sails Gallery is a local Devon family business, headed up by Joanna Downer. Joanna has a background running an arts for health charity, including facilitating arts-based groups, and she took over ownership of the gallery in October 2024 from Adam Edsall. Adam’s dedicated curation over his fourteen years as proprietor provided the basis of our current stunning collection of work.

If you pop into the gallery you may meet Joanna, Suzanne, Cath or Tracy and between us we have years of arts and gallery experience.

We look forward to welcoming you to the gallery, or to answering your questions by phone or email.
