Art in Poundbury Winter Exhibition

This year Art in Poundbury’s Winter exhibition, A Hive of Creativity runs from Saturday, 23rd November to Sunday, 1st December, will be open every day from 10am – 4pm (Free entry) and is being held in the magnificent Jubilee Hall Poundbury (around the corner from Waitrose).

There are plans for around 120 artists (nearly 30 of whom are new to exhibiting in Jubilee Hall) showcasing a broad array of styles and techniques, from striking paintings to sculptures, ceramics and glass. A real showstopper of all the talent that’s right here on our doorstep. It’s also a very good chance to find some great Christmas gifts.

On the first day, Saturday, 23rd, from 1pm will be Creative Clay for All – where you can come and have a go at making a ceramic bee with ceramicist Debbie Clarke. All welcome – whatever your age and ability

Over the 9 days there will also be ‘have a go’ and ‘Meet the Artist’ sessions – calligraphy, glass engraving, ceramics, painting and more. To find out exactly what’s going on daily go to www.artinpoundbury.co.uk

AiP is also, over the week, running a prize draw (see box) to raise funds for both Dorset County Hospital Emergency and Critical Care Appeal and the very important fellow charity ‘Arts in Hospital’ – an initiative that works towards bringing art into hospitals to make a hospital stay just that bit better for patients, their families and staff.
