About b-side
b-side is an artist led arts organisation based in Dorset, UK. We work with and commission artists to make new site-responsive work revealing the marginal , often forgotten and less commercial aspects of our coastal towns and communities. We invite professional artists to make artworks in response to place: often drawing upon the history, architecture and geography of a particular site or working with communities as source of inspiration and research. b-side offers artists a range of opportunities to engage with and respond to its programme through the festival, bursaries, commissions, residencies, artists CPD and work with young people. b-side is funded by Arts Council England, for full list of our supporters please see website
