The project will culminate in a group exhibition at Shaftesbury Arts Centre in November 2025. This exhibition will showcase a diverse range of work exploring the multifaceted ecology and heritage of Cranborne Chase, encompassing its meadows, river systems, and hedgerows, as well as its significance as a place of inspiration and its rich human history. Artists will have access to Field Rangers and local experts, providing support for exploration, research, and artistic development. The goal is to generate a visual understanding of the fragility and precious habitats of the Chase's natural environment, fostering audience enjoyment, appreciation, and education. The callout is open to all Dorset artists, with particular encouragement for applications from artists living in or near Cranborne Chase and East Dorset, as well as younger and emerging artists.
