Applications Open on 1 January to Exhibit at Purbeck Art Weeks Festival 2025

Purbeck Art Weeks (PAW) is thrilled to announce that applications to exhibit in the Purbeck Art Weeks Festival 2025 will officially open on January 1, 2025. Taking place from May 24 to June 8, 2025, this much-anticipated event is a unique opportunity for local visual artists to showcase their work and connect with Purbeck’s vibrant artistic community.

Reflecting on PAW 2024, one participant shared:
“Overhearing customers’ comments on my artwork has been a huge encouragement and validation to an otherwise very isolated art practice. Selling a piece of artwork before it had even been hung was a particular highlight, but overall, the quality of Purbeck art goes from strength to strength. I feel very proud as an artist to be a part of it.”

Another artist remarked: “It was great to exhibit with other artists and receive such positive feedback from the public, with excellent sales.”

Applications for the 2025 Festival close on January 31, 2025. To learn more about the process and requirements click here.
