Dorset Visual Arts (Dorset Art Weeks)
As a pioneer of open studios in the South West, Dorset Art Weeks has increased in size and success with each biennial event since the first in 1992.
In 2006, the old Dorset Art Weeks Association became Dorset Art Weeks Ltd, and a new charitable trust, Dorset Visual Arts was formed as the umbrella organisation. Recently the Limited Company name has been changed to Dorset Visual Arts (Promotions) Ltd. DVA Ltd will continue to organise the familiar Open Studios event and will also promote and support Dorset's artists and makers through other events and opportunities.
At the heart of DVA's aims lies education, including support for emerging artists, the provision of professional development opportunities for artists, and the provision of grants for educational and training purposes in the field of visual arts and crafts.
