Coastal Creatives and Dorset Art Weeks

We have handpicked an exciting mix of artists and makers to showcase during Dorset Art Weeks. Visitors to Coastal Creatives will be offered the opportunity to buy and commission original coastal artwork, fashion and interior products and discover how they are created.
