Bournemouth and Poole College have set up the Fund with us to support and encourage engagement in the visual arts by people of all ages in Dorset. The Fund was set up in 2013 with the initial sum of £100,000 and matched by 50% through Community First, to create a £150,000 Fund.

The Arts Prize Fund distributes annual awards to participants in the Arts Prize Competition. Winners are chosen through an independent panel each year.
