Art in the Arcade lands in Boscombe

Some of the most memorable creative experiences happen outside traditional gallery walls, so rather than asking people to visit a gallery, Art in the Arcade invites visitors to discover contemporary art somewhere unexpected – surrounded by independent shops, local businesses and the distinctive character of the Royal Arcade. The free event takes place on Saturday 21 November from 10am.

Created by curator Millie Lake, the event celebrates original artwork, creative community and the joy of buying directly from artists. Whether you’re a visitor hoping to discover your next favourite piece or an artist looking to connect with new audiences, Art in the Arcade is designed to celebrate creativity, champion independent artists and make buying original art a more personal and enjoyable experience.

If you’re an artist and want to display your works, applications are open until Saturday 17 October. Learn more and apply here: curatedbymillie.co.uk/art-in-the-arcade.
