A special evening, and a beautiful milestone

Thursday evening, we gathered with friends, supporters and creative partners to celebrate two very special moments: the topping out and naming of our Tony Pearce auditorium building and the launch of our new brand.

This project has always been rooted in community — in the belief that the arts should be accessible to everyone, and that beautiful things can grow when people come together with purpose.  These were the beliefs of our late founder, Tony Pearce, and we were honoured to have Tony’s widow, Jeanette,  join us for the celebrations.

Over the past few months, we’ve had the pleasure of working with the team at Fruit Marketing, along with Gareth from Out Of Town Studio, to craft a new identity for Bovey Paradiso Arts — one that honours our history, our home, and our hopes for the future.

• What came to life is:
• A brand that tells our story
• A visual identity that reflects both heritage and imagination
• A suite of tools and assets that will help us reach more people
• And a strong foundation as we move toward our next big step:

raising £275,000 in our upcoming community share offer – the final chapter in creating a truly inclusive space for arts, performance, learning and connection.

We are incredibly grateful to all who joined us, supported us, and continue to believe in this vision. The journey isn’t over yet — but last night was a beautiful reminder of just how far we’ve come, together.
