🗓️ Wednesday 1st – Friday 31st January 2025
Applications are open throughout January for this year’s Purbeck Art Weeks Festival.
The annual festival showcases work by visual artists living, working or studying on the Isle of Purbeck.
You can show your work through your own open studio, at the PAW group exhibition at Rollington Barn (near Corfe Castle), or at a range of other venues.
It’s open to both established, emerging and hobby artists of all ages, and all styles and mediums of art.
Applications are open from 1st January and close on 31st January.
PAW is a wonderful opportunity both for established artists to showcase their work and for new artists just stepping their toes in the water exhibiting for the first time.
Many of our local artists in Purbeck took their very first steps with us.
The festival’s popularity has grown year on year – last year we had to close applications for the Rollington Exhibition early due to the number of submissions received and limited space, so I’d advise anyone considering applying to do so early.
We can’t wait to see this year’s entries!

Application process
To show your work at PAW you need to become a member, which gives you access to a supportive network and friendly community of fellow artists, along with regular email updates, social get-togethers and a dedicated group Facebook page.
You’ll also need to pay the relevant exhibition fee (discounts and bursaries are available), full details of which can be found on the PAW website: https://purbeckartweeksfestival.co.uk.
