2023 Portrait Artist of Purbeck – Live Art Event

This was held in the Community Room, The Mowlem, Swanage, BH19 1DD

Portrait Artist of Purbeck was a compered live event, in which leading Dorset artists Jack Dickson (painter and Sky Portrait Artist of the Year 2020), Tony Kerins (artist/illustrator), and Suzy Wright (textile artist) paint a local notable character in front of an audience.

Swanage resident Will Boyd from East Enders was the mystery sitter!

PYA 2023

In 2023 the children taking part in the PYA workshops were inspired by the festival theme of ‘Nature and the Environment’. The workshops were coordinated by Sophie Jenkins and were delivered by an amazing team of local artists with a wealth of experience of working with young people. This year the range of workshops included, ceramics, painting banners, sculptures from nature, mosaics and 3D art using recycled materials.
