Dorset Pavilion | Pride In Dorset’s Traditions, Histories, Deep Time and Visceral Land

Dorset Pavilion | Pride In Dorset’s Traditions, Histories, Deep Time and Visceral Land

The Dorset Pavilion returns from its successful debut in Venice to present a visceral, raw and playful exhibition that celebrates the parish-sized thinking that is both resurgent and under threat.

Presenting an earthy mix of contemporary artworks from 25 artists, this exhibition highlights Dorset’s contribution to the broader art world while challenging conventional expectations of regional art by offering something powerful, tactile, and evocative. It speaks to deep time; the land; the political; the literary; and the historical.

This exhibition is the final event of Dorset 24 – Town of Culture, a celebration of people, place and culture. Links will be made to Weymouth and Portland, the 2025 Dorset Town of Culture, through an exploration of the political and protest. County of Culture is an initiative created by Arts Development Company. Bridport 2024 was funded by Dorset Council with match funding from Bridport Town Council.

This exhibition runs from Saturday 8th February – Saturday 15th March 2025

The Allsop Gallery is open 10am – 4pm | Tuesday – Saturday | Free Entry
