Dorset Artists' Emergency Fund

with gratitude to other artists who make many of my days better

The arts should be encouraged.

Supporting this cause because: ‘There it is. Art. The way out. The escape. You sense already that it’s waiting, with its irresistible attractions and challenges, the stuff among which, it turns out, you will go on to spend your whole life’ David Hare

"Art makes something happen in a way that makes something happen" (Ali Smith) "If we don't develop people's imagination, how do we expect them to learn how to think?" (Baronness Mary Warnock)

I am an artist, semi retired, and not in need of funds. So very glad to help - preferably performers, but anyone in need. My heart goes out to you.

Hope you can continue to create and entertain. Thank you for the joyful moments!

Wish we could support you more. x

Artists need support!

With thanks to Lorna Rees for Silly Songs for Serious Times Lockdown Band

Very worthwhile endeavours

Culture and art are the very essence of our Society, help artists to survive and continue to inspire us with their work

Happy to help

Good luck and you are nearly there!

Got to keep the artists supported!

I don't live in Dorset but realised how many of these events I have been to, or had bought tickets for that now can't happen. Want to ensure this is all there for everyone when we get back to some form of new situation.

Happy to help the wonderful arts community of Dorset.

Here’s to enjoying some great performances on the other side of this!

Artists create all the things that make life worth living - music , poetry , books , dance , theatre and circus ... Go well fellow artists in this time . Solidarity

We don't know what we've got 'til it's gone........ Artists help make life worth living.

Artists of all kinds bring so much light, laughter and vibrancy to our normal day to day, let's keep the creative arts alive and support those artists! This is a brilliant cause!

Happy to contribute, a great cause.

Stay safe!

We all need the arts . Thank you for sharing your creativity

Fully support the cause and people behind it 💚

We are all in this together, I look forward to enjoying the arts once more when things have eased
