Taking its title and inspiration from the poem by John Clare, ‘The Instinct of Hope’ features selected work by artists responding to Dorset’s unique landscape and wildlife. Dorset is home to an incredible but fragile bounty of natural wonder. The range and scale is vast - insects, birdlife, reptiles, mosses, lichen and grasses form part of this rich tapestry, as well as the larger elements which inform this, such as the underlying and shifting geology.
As Dorset Visual Arts and Dorset Council declare a Climate and Ecological Emergency, this
exhibition seeks to raise awareness of the inspiring elements and wonder which make the
county so unique, and why we should cherish, value and celebrate it.
Includes work for sale.
