Feedback: Dorset Arts Weeks
Our Dorset Art Weeks exhibition was a wonderful success, welcoming 225 visitors over 16 days and providing a fantastic opportunity to showcase the creativity of our GodFirst Monthly Art Group. A dedicated team of our art group volunteers helped create a warm and welcoming environment, offering hospitality, conversations, and a chance for many people to step inside The Runway, who may not otherwise have visited. We were delighted to sell 28 pieces of artwork, including first-time sales for several artists, and received many encouraging comments about the quality and variety of the work alongside the welcome visitors received. One couple who had visited many group exhibitions during Dorset Art Weeks described ours as the best they had seen. Beyond the artwork itself, the exhibition opened doors for meaningful conversations and opportunities to share the love of God, with moments where visitors experienced the church as a place of warmth, creativity, and welcome.
