Art lovers all over North Dorset are now celebrating - the Gallery reopened its doors on Wednesday 1st July.  We have a full schedule of artists to excite your eyes.

We look forward to greeting friends old and new into our favourite space.

Opening the Gallery is just the first step. We’re doing everything we can to prepare to reopen the rest of the Centre, but we still need help. We know it is a difficult time, but if you are able to make a donation to help us return live theatre and the Arts to Shaftesbury, it would be hugely appreciated.




 

Read a message to all members of the Arts Centre from the Chairman and Membership Secretary.
