EXHIBITIONS AND EVENTS
Sherborne House Arts (SHA)
SHA is an artist led organisation responsible for curating the visual arts programme at Sherborne House in Dorset. Its aims are to present exhibitions and projects that reflect current visual art practice, encourage dialogue and develop opportunities for the creation of new work.
Although currently unable to present an arts programme at Sherborne House, SHA will continue to promote contemporary visual art in the region. It plans a series of exhibitions with accompanying seminars, artists’ talks and workshops at host venues along the coast (see current programme below).
