Where You Find Your Self

Saturday 18th January 2025 – Sunday 23rd February 2025

A Dorset Visual Arts Project Group Exhibition 

‘Where You Find Your Self’ is a visual exploration of hidden Dorset, conducted over one year through various media, research, recording, and recollection by members of Dorset Visual Art’s Interrogating Projects Group. 

The featured artworks delve into places that hold a particular meaning to the participating artists. They are accompanied by reflective accounts on how our connection to ‘personal’ places and spaces can reveal a sense of self and belonging. 

Artists have repeatedly visited and examined specific locations, asking questions of their practice to reveal facets of themselves and the county.

The Group meets regularly to critically review work in progress, encourage skills swaps and knowledge sharing, studio visits, and informal collaborations, and consider some of the different aspects and challenges of working as an artist in a rural county.

Artwork will be available to purchase through The Sherborne, and many makers will be featured in our shop. Please talk to our Visitor Hub Team at the reception desk for further information.
