Connected Perspectives Conserving a Symbiotic Landscape
A community art exhibition that celebrates the unique beauty and ecological importance of Dorset’s heathlands, an integral part of our local heritage, culture, and natural landscape across BCP and Dorset County.
This exhibition will feature a variety of artistic works, ranging from individual projects to collaborative pieces, with contributions drawn from an open call for submissions. The aim is to include a diverse mix of creatives, local community groups, and students, all responding to a heathland-themed brief.
Additionally, the exhibition will highlight local conservation efforts, underscoring the importance of protecting these increasingly rare habitats for future generations.
Open daily 14-23 February, 10am-4pm
