Dorset Visual Arts

Dorset Visual Arts is a not-for-profit organisation and registered charity (1113249), established in 2006. We have a membership of over 250 artists, designers and makers who live and, or work in Dorset. Some of our members have national and international reputations. We recognise that artists and makers have different interests and needs in developing their work and careers, particularly in a mainly rural county. We are here to support visual artists and makers at all stages of their career, running project groups focused on professional development. Dorset Visual Arts enables the artists and makers of Dorset to fully realise the benefits that can come from pursuing their creative practice and growing their audience.
