We’re inviting young artists across Dorset and the New Forest to submit artwork for our Young Artists Open Call 2026.
The exhibition, opening Nov 2026 in our Coda gallery, will celebrate the ideas and imagination of local young people.
Show us what inspires you, what you’re curious about, or simply what ‘Play’ means to you - we can’t wait to see the world through your eyes.
An invitation for local 4-18 y/olds to submit creative work responding to the theme of Play.
Coda offers creative workshops, programmes, and courses for all ages and abilities. Our year-round exhibition programme provides free access to a

support health and wellbeing.
