Guide to Dorset Art Weeks 2024

Your guide to Dorset Art Weeks 2021

Dorset Art Weeks (DAW) is one of the largest open studio events in the country and takes place in every pocket of this wonderful, creative county.

In normal times, every other year, from the last week of May to the end of the frist week in June, more than 300 artists across Dorset open their studios. Others, in groups, form exhibitions. Together, some 750 artists share their work.

This year, due to Covid, some artists are opening their studio doors, some are showcasing their work online, so we have had to change the format slightly, bringing you this fabulous new app so you can browse DAW's huge range of work comfortably and safely from your own home and plan 'real' visits where possible.

Make sure you check each venue carefully to see their opening status before travelling. Please respect the safety measures in-place.

With this app you can:

1) Search for artists by name, artform and location

2) See images of their artwork, view their profile, website and social media links

3) Find the studios on a map and get directions if they are open in person

4) Check if a studio is accessible

5) Save artists to a list of favourites
