Bringing new art to Dorset since 2008
Since our first festival we have worked with artists to support the creation of hundreds of brand-new artworks enjoyed by thousands of residents and visitors. Our artists have helped to tell the stories of Portland in new ways, in places you would least expect to find art and have enabled new voices to be heard.
Your support means we can continue to create new art, support artists, young people and share incredible stories about the Isle of Portland with the rest of the world.
But there is still lots more to do
But there’s still lots more to do…
We want to grow and create an internationally recognised arts organisation providing exciting and progressive creative opportunities for artists and communities in our county. We want to spotlight our local talent and bring internationally recognised artists to audiences in Dorset.
