Dorset is bursting with artists, makers, studios, galleries and creative talent.
DAOS was created for artists. Foremost we put artists first with no commercial agenda. 100% of sales revenue goes to the artist.
Discover the latest works and creative processes of our featured artists, highlighting the vibrant diversity of Dorset's contemporary art scene.
Can’t make it during the event ? No worries ! Most of our artists are happy to host you at another time, throughout the year. Check out our brochure or website for contact details to get in touch.
Visitors are free to drop in during opening hours to homes, studios, workshops, galleries, and other interesting venues, many with staggering views of the coast and countryside, while others are conveniently located on high streets and industrial estates.
