Dorset Art Weeks Exhibition, the Sovereign Centre 29 May - 13 June

Sixteen Artists exhibited for two weeks in May and June 2004, the show was a great success attracting around 3500 visitors and many encouraging comments.

The majority of exhibitors are professional or semi-professional artists or photographers, either resident in Boscombe or who have some connection with it through the annual Boscombe Community Fair, held in King’s Park.

The Independent Free State Of Mind (IFSOM) Arts Tent, through which the network of artists has been established, was added to the fair’s other attractions in 2002.

This exhibition would not have been possible without the many volunteers whose time, enthusiasm and commitment resulted in the amazing transformation of the dirty unused shop unit - painted black and silver, to prime gallery space. Read about it in the newsletter

The exhibition was supported by Bournemouth Borough Council regeneration funds and a Bournemouth Council Arts Grant.
