Purbeck Art Week 2007
"We hope you will take part so we can repeat the very successful event in 2005.
Our intention is to provide a quality selling opportunity for artists and galleries in this locality and to promote their work to both locals and the very large number of visitors that come here on holiday over the last May Bank Holiday weekend. We feel it is important to fill the gap in the interim years of Dorset Art Weeks to maintain some continuity of expectation in the minds of our visitors. We also want to give those artists who are unable or unwilling to exhibit at their place of work an opportunity to show their work by providing group exhibitions. Our shows at Rollington Barn are becoming increasingly successful and this year we also plan a themed group show at Slepe Farm. More info in due course! "
Date Saturday 26th May - Sunday 3 June 2007
For more information contact:
Antonia Phillips, 81 Queens Road, Swanage, BH19 2EP

Application form and fee to be received by Friday 23rd February.
