2026 Membership Window Now Open!

2026 Membership Window Open! Fellowship and Associate Membership Applications Now Open

The Dorset Artists Guild is pleased to announce that applications for Fellowship and Associate Membership for 2026 are now open.

We are a welcoming and supportive community of artists who connect, inspire, and encourage one another through exhibitions, social events, collaborative creative projects, and shared opportunities.

As a relatively new group—now in our second year—we are continuing to grow and evolve, building a vibrant and developing artistic network.

Membership fees are:
£50 per annum for Fellowship Members
£30 per annum for Associate Members

As a member of the Guild, you will have opportunities to:

Exhibit your work
Meet and connect with fellow artists
Share creative opportunities
Develop and grow your artistic practice

*Membership is intended for practising professional artists with an established portfolio, website, and a regular exhibiting history. Please note that the Guild is dedicated to fine art practice and does not include craft-based disciplines.

All applications are reviewed by our committee. Applicants are required to submit a website or portfolio as part of the process.

Please note that not all applications will be successful for Fellowship or Associate Membership, as places are carefully considered to maintain the quality and balance of our growing community.

If you would like to be part of our developing artistic group, we would be delighted to hear from you.

To apply – follow the link in our bio.

The application window closes 30 June 2026.
