         Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past 3 years

            &#xD;
        &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            that we have had to make the tough decision to cancel our International Open Art Competition 2025 and close the Gallery, with
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    
          Saturday 16th August 2025 being our last trading day.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          While it fills us with great sadness having to make this announcement, we have been finding solace looking back over what we have achieved over the past three years, with the amazing people that have come through the Gallery's door and the fantastic art we have seen from our superb Gallery Artists or from our International Open Art Competition. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Endings are always uncomfortable but there are usually specks of new hope and opportunity that can be found that help with the change. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We are
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    
          still open
          &#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           and have on display
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    
          incredible work
          &#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           by our Gallery Artists which are
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    
          available to be purchased.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           So please do
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    
          pop down to the Gallery
          &#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           or check out out our

          &#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           as we are still able to
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    
          facilitate remote purchasing.
          &#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           A final note needs to be said for the Gallery Artists that we have had the pleasure to work with over the years.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    
          We would like to thank our current Gallery Artists for supporting us through to the closure date
          &#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           and we are in discussion with other galleries to see if we can find new space for as many as possible. We have crossed paths and found some very talented people and it has been great to give a platform to showcase their work. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

         2025 International Open Art Competition Deadline Extended until Monday 14th July 2025

&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Following Howard's exhibition trip to the US and the big interest from artists there wanting to enter our International Open Art Competition but felt the deadline to enter was too tight, we've decided to...
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Extended our entries deadline until midnight on Monday 14th July to give more opportunity to enter!

           A Chain of Mayors gathered to endorse the presentation of the 2025 Art Unlimited Young Person’s Bursary which was awarded to Penny Solway of Woodroffe School, Lyme Regis, Dorset on Saturday 14th June 2025 in the Art Unlimited Gallery, South Street, Bridport, Dorset, DT6 3NR.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
              
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Howard Flanagan, owner of Art Unlimited and initiator of this Award was joined by Cllr Anne Rickard, Mayor of Bridport and Cllr Philip Evans MBE, Mayor of Lyme Regis to present Penny with her Bursary cheque for £2500.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The Bursary has been funded by entry fees from the 2024 Art Unlimited International Open Art Competition. This Award was created to support young student artists within the community and encourage their further education.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Howard Flanagan: ‘We are keen to work closely with both schools and colleges as well as the business community in order to foster young talent and develop a platform here in Bridport from which they can shine.’
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Students from local schools including Bridport’s Sir John Colfox Academy, Woodroffe School in Lyme Regis, Beaminster School and Thomas Hardye in Dorchester were invited to submit a 250-word personal statement stating what this award would mean to their future artistic career. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Penny who has already been accepted into her UAL Art &amp;amp; Design Foundation course told us how ‘transformative’ this would be for her enabling her not only to invest in better equipment and tools with which to reflect the full extent of her ideas, but to get out of the studio and explore creation elsewhere. ‘This funding would mean that someone believed in my potential and that belief would push me to make the absolute most of this year.’ 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The 2025 Competition is currently open for online submissions until Friday 4th July 2025 (NOW EXTENDED UNTIL MONDAY 14th July 2025)  with this year’s entry fees going towards the 2025/26 Bursary,
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The Shortlisted artists will be announced on 1st August 2025.
           &#xD;

    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            An exhibition of all the finalists’ works will be on display at The Malthouse Gallery, Town Mill, Lyme Regis from 6th- 18th September 2025.

         New Competition Category for 2025
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
    
          We are delighted to announce the launch of Best Dorset Artist category for our 2025 Competition which is sponsored by
          &#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;a href="https://www.dorsethideaways.co.uk/" target="_blank"&gt;&#xD;
        
            Dorset Hideaways
           &#xD;
      &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    
          .
         &#xD;
  &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           All artists that reside within the county boundary of Dorset are eligible. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Whilst we are an international competition eager to discover and show art from around the globe, Dorset is very much our home base. The county has a wealth of diverse creativity that deserves to be recognised and celebrated.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Our aim is that the Best Dorset Artist category will provide a platform from which we can display the talent and creativity of the artists that call this picturesque county their home.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           The origin story of The Adapted Class
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
    
          Fresh for the 2025 International Open Art Competition we have introduced two new category prizes into the Competition, Best Dorset Artist and The Adapted Class. Focusing on The Adapted Class, we wanted to share the inception of this new category and how it became part of the 2025 Competition.

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The Adapted Class came into being after a colleague of Howard’s (Art Unlimited owner and artist) heard about the growing success of the Competition in 2024 and suggested there should be a category in the Competition for artists that paint with adapted tools. This was inspired by her own experience in having to use homemade adapted tools to complete her art A level due to the effects of cerebral palsy. She felt that it would be a great opportunity to highlight and give recognition to artists that paint in a similar manner. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Acknowledging the weight and importance of this suggestion, Howard threw his energy and enthusiasm behind making this a reality and creating a category for these artists in the 2025 Competition. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            After consultation with his colleague and the Art Unlimited team conducting further research, an appropriate sponsor was found in the form of

            , and The Adapted Class was born. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

            The Adapted Class is open to artists who:

            •	paint with their mouth or feet and those that hold a pen, pencil, crayon or palette knife in this manner

    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Artists that enter The Adapted Class are also eligible for the other category prizes in the Competition, if applicable to their work. 
           &#xD;

    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            We hope that with the introduction of this new class we can help shine a light on this talented group of artists, giving them a new platform from which they can sparkle and promote Art Unlimited’s ethos of being open to all whilst showcasing great art.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Our wonderful judges, Lady Victoria Conran, Julie Montagu, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke and Richard Vine, came and cast their eyes over the Finalist artworks we had on display, scoring each work in each of the different judging areas.

            A Chain of Mayors gathered to endorse the presentation of the first Art Unlimited Young Person’s Bursary which was awarded to Kathryn Conway of Woodroffe School, Lyme Regis, Dorset on Saturday 22nd June 2024 in the Art Unlimited Gallery on South Street, Bridport, Dorset, DT6 3NR.  
           &#xD;

    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
            Howard Flanagan, owner of Art Unlimited and initiator of this inaugural Award was joined by Cllr Anne Rickard, Mayor of Bridport and Cllr David Ruffle, Mayor of Lyme Regis to present Kathryn with her Bursary cheque for £2500.

        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
        
            and the generosity of an anonymous donor. This inaugural Award was created to support young student artists within the community and their further education.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
            Howard Flanagan: ‘We are keen to work closely with both schools and colleges as well as the business community in order to foster young talent and develop a platform here in Bridport from which they can shine.’
           &#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
            Students from local schools including Bridport’s Sir John Colfox Academy and Woodroffe School in Lyme Regis were invited to submit a 250-word personal statement stating what this award would mean to their future artistic career. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
            Kathryn’s stood out as this excerpt clearly demonstrates: ‘What this bursary could provide for me is resources to create art and to sell my work as an artist, as well as access to paid-for online courses in addition to my university studies. Having the ability to take further courses would drastically improve my skills, ready for my career as an artist. Having higher skills would also limit competition against me in finding the best jobs, something that is even more important nowadays with the pressure created by AI.’
           &#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
            There was a great feeling in the Gallery at the presentation on Saturday and Cllr Anne Rickard shared it was: 'So good to know young people are being recognised and encouraged in this way [Bursary].  It was heart-warming to witness this happening here in Bridport'.

Developing her skill through happy accidents and complete disasters. As time went on the disasters becomes less and the work developed and matured.

         The new Gallery team and I have been putting the finishing touches on the first exhibition and hanging some of the wonderful first submissions to Art Unlimited.
         &#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          There's is so much fantastic work, we cannot possibly hang it all - but that is the very best headache to have!
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Much of the work will rotate as we space time in the gallery space and truly find out what out what works where and with what other art.

           We want Art Unlimited to be known as a home for great art...
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           Its not about the artists its all bout the art, all art. Art Unlimited more interested in the artists ability to create something beautiful rather than anything else.
