Support Us
As the leading network of Dorset-based artists and makers, DVA supports over 350 practitioners at every stage of their career. We’re currently developing a number of new and inclusive opportunities for members across the visual arts disciplines, with a focus on creative and professional development.
DVA is a registered charity (1113249), and relies on the generous support of individuals to fund running costs and help us continue our vital work in showcasing the best of Dorset’s creatives. Your support enables us to invest in our work with artists, communities and other like-minded organisations, ensuring continued sustainability and access to the arts for everyone across the county.
Please consider making a donation and help support our work, every bit helps. Thank You.
LEGACY
Your support can help us continue our work for years to come. By leaving a legacy to DVA, you can ensure that future creatives and supporters of the arts can benefit from our work in Dorset and beyond.
Why leave a Legacy?
Leaving a gift in your will is a wonderful way to support DVA. It’s a lasting investment in the arts, helping us inspire, engage, and enrich the professional development of artists, designers and makers in Dorset.
How to Leave a Legacy
Leaving a gift to Dorset Visual Arts in your will is straightforward. You can leave a specific sum of money, an item, or a percentage of your estate. If you already have a will, your solicitor can help you make a simple addition (called a codicil) to include your gift to us.

Your legacy will help us to:
• Support artists: Provide opportunities for artists, designers and makers to develop and showcase work
• Engage the community: Offer accessible and inclusive arts activities for all ages and backgrounds
• Preserve our cultural heritage: Conserve and celebrate Dorset’s rich artistic heritage
If you’re considering leaving a legacy to DVA, or if you have any questions, please get in touch and we can provide more information or discuss how your gift can make a real difference. Thank you for considering supporting DVA through a legacy gift. Your generosity will help us to continue our valuable work in Dorset for generations to come.
