Dorset Arts Week – The Victorian Barn information for our guests

Thursday, 22 May 2014

24th May - 8th June 2014

Dorset Arts Weeks is one of the largest Open Studio Events in the country; it brings artists and visitors together in ways that are often remarkable and profoundly different from entering a public gallery.

Dorset Arts Week is fundamentally as much about engagement between people as about people and art. At almost all venues the artists, designers or makers will be on-hand to help you engage with the work, keen to talk to you about the extraordinary range of materials, skills and traditions that inform their work.

Based in the heart of Dorset, The Victorian Barn is central to many of the Open Studios.

Some of our guests have based themselves for a weeks stay in our self catering accommodation especially to take full advantage of the wonderful Art Studios in the surrounding area.

I am personally excited to visit Simon Gudgeon of http://sculpturebythelakes.co.uk/

I am also tempted by the work of Alison Board of www.alisoncboard-fineart.co.uk is this image inspired by Katy our meet and greet dog at The Victorian Barn.
