Information about Artwey
Published: 22nd August 2011
Artwey is the name chosen by a group of visual artists working in and around Weymouth and Portland.
Artwey is a Community Interest Company, details can be found at the CIC link.
For our first major events, we invited the public to visit us in our studios and exhibition spaces during September 2009 and 2010, then May/June 2011, using this website and printed maps. We opened our studios, some in back gardens, some in unusual and interesting places such as a tower, a beach hut and an old waterworks.
Most of us can be contacted all the year round, so this website is worth bookmarking!
These events are an opportunity for the local community and visitors to discover the wealth of talent in the area. It is a chance to meet and talk with artists, see us being creative and share our stories of what inspires us and how we work.
Many venues serve refreshments or will recommend nearby watering holes, so visits can be an enjoyable day out for groups of friends.
There is no high pressure selling during the event, but it is possible to buy or commission an artwork or sign up for tuition.
Most artists cannot deal with credit cards, but cheques are accepted! Some artwork can be taken away immediately, but some will need a deposit – to be collected at the end of the month.
