"In Our Nature" is a major new exhibition exploring the relationship between Dorset's natural environment and artists' studio practices,
showcasing the county's unique biodiversity and its role as a source of inspiration. The exhibition features artistic responses to the Climate and Ecological Emergency by some of Dorset's most talented artists.
The exhibition, part of the 2025 DVAtions programme, will be on display at the Fine Foundation Gallery in Durlston Country Park from 23rd May to 11th June 2025. DVA will curate the exhibition, with works selected by Shannon Dugdale, Visitor Services Ranger and Gallery Manager, Durlston Country Park NNR, and Toby Wiggins RP.
The displayed works will embody the essence of Dorset's natural environment, ecology, and habitats, through diverse artistic expressions. The exhibition will showcase the artists' connection to place, location, residency, and belonging, inviting the audience to experience the
natural bounty and wonder of Dorset.
