Artist’s Statement:

Sandy Hill Arts is rapidly becoming the art centre for Purbeck: the home of visual arts with some 20 artist studios on site, but also with a growing and well respected performance and education side. Studio artists work across a wide range of media and run a growing range of courses. Our events showcase local performers as well as bringing in national and international level acts. We are of course also the home of the Boilerhouse Gallery – this commercial gallery has brought visitors to our site for the last 25 years. We won’t have our own catering this year, but Steam Cafe is just across the tracks on the station. Come look at the art, enjoy walking around the site and along the Byle Brook that runs along our lovely little wooded valley nestled under the Purbeck hills, then stay for the live music on the weekends during PAW.
