The Arts Society provides children and young people with exciting opportunities to get involved in creative arts activities. This work with young people builds a lasting enthusiasm for the arts and an awareness of arts heritage and its conservation.

Arts volunteering offers opportunities for members to become involved in selecting  local arts projects for support - which may be a financial contribution or hands-on involvement or both.

We were successful in obtaining grants from the national Arts Society for some of these projects during recent years. 

• Willow weaving workshop with an artist - Oakdale Junior School
• Contribution to musical instruments for Beaucroft Foundation School
• Annual art lectures for local 6th formers held at the Arts University Bournemouth 
• Creatives in the community - artist- led activities for children as part of the redevelopment of Poole museum 
• Visit by Purbeck School to  Roche Court Sculpture Park 
• Tile making workshop at Langside special school
• Print making workshop at Bournemouth community hub.
• Mug design and making for Dorset Blind Assocation 
• Workshop for local young musicians with professional coaching - Poole Society for Young Musicians
