Our Sponsors
Dear friends
On behalf of Humphries Kirk incorporating Trevanions I would like to welcome you to the Dorset Art Weeks 2008.
We are, again, extremely proud to be the main sponsor, and indeed, I am very pleased to announce that we have recently agreed a new sponsorship package that will see Humphries Kirk inc Trevanions as main sponsor for the next three years.
Supporting Dorset Art Weeks is not solely about what we can get from our sponsorship, it is also about what we can put back into the local community and it is in the arts where we feel we can make the biggest impact on the wider community.
That aside, our support of Dorset Art Weeks in particular, is, in part, due to the creativity, commitment and passion of the team at Dorset Visual Arts who do a tremendous job in actively promoting Dorset as a cultural destination in the south.
Their professionalism gives us faith that events such as Dorset Art Weeks will continue to grow in popularity and so too will the value of our support.
As a local business we have long supported art and artists and I feel there is something inherently attractive about people with creative talents, although I doubt anyone has ever spotted, let alone admired, the creativity in any of the legal documents I have fashioned!
I will simply end by saying that I hope you will support Dorset Art Weeks by taking time to visit some of the fabulous studios and galleries that are part of this years event, and in doing so, discover some of the hidden delights that Dorset has to offer.
Yours
Felicity Hedger
