BraveArt 5
During Dorset Art Weeks, East Dorset BraveArt Society is delighted to join forces with Poole Grammar School for the hosting of the free art exhibition BraveArt 5. This coincides with the external launch of the Grammar School’s Street Gallery which is available for community hire in the holiday periods.
There will be 25 artists showing their works, and we are planning a few surprises to make this a very exciting visual treat! Works framed and unframed, and cards will be on sale.
Regularly exhibiting our paintings is a priority for our club. We encourage all members to get involved.
In 2019 we exhibited at Bournemouth Library and the Community Learning and Resource Centre in Wimborne. Our 2020 BraveArt13 exhibition was cancelled at The Gallery Upstairs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is available as a “virtual” version via the link below. We exhibited at “The Gallery Upstairs” Upton Country Park in November 2021 and again recently in August 2023. We hope to return to the “Gather” exhibition space in the ground floor of the Dolphin Centre, Poole in 2024.
During exhibitions we offer framed and unframed paintings and cards for sale at affordable prices.
Member Exhibitions
To encourage our members confidence in their own work, we encourage “members exhibitions” during our Monday evening meeting at Upton. These allow one member to show a range of their own work and receive feedback from other members in the group. We hope to establish these as regular events in our diary.
Pop-Up Exhibitions
Members seek out other locations, venues and “pop-up” exhibition opportunities in and around Dorset to show our work.
Community Events
We also support local events. In 2019, 2022 and 2023 we entered work in the “Upton in Bloom” art competition.
In 2019 and 2022 members joined other local art groups at Knoll Gardens, Stapehill to paint and draw in the gardens for a day.
