Discover, Create, Connect – with Dorchester Arts
At Dorchester Arts, our mission is simple: to involve, inspire, and entertain. We’re passionate about expanding creative experiences and bringing people together through the power of the arts.
We offer a wide range of opportunities for adults to get involved, meet other people, learn new skills, and express themselves, with a focus on those living with a chronic physical illness or low level mental health issues.
We’re proud to be an inclusive and welcoming space, where access support is readily available for anyone who needs it. Carers are always welcome to attend any of our events, workshops, or activities free of charge.
Below you’ll find the projects that Dorchester Arts run, so explore the opportunities to get creative, and join in! For more information about our programme and how we might be able to support you, your child or a group you work with, please call 01305 266926 or email engage@dorchesterarts.org.uk
