A NEW sculpture exhibition has opened at Compton Acres in Poole.
Into The Wild features 36 sculptures by eight artists and invites visitors to embark on a trail through the garden, starting in The Wooded Valley.
The exhibition opened earlier this month and runs until October.
Curator Harriet Sheppard said: "We are extremely excited to welcome more sculptures into our gardens for Into The Wild.
“Our 10-acre site provides an ideal setting for wildlife, allowing us to create an immersive experience that visitors can truly enjoy.”
Into The Wild aims to showcase the work of the artists and also share the message about the importance of wildlife and conservation efforts for the survival of the planet.
One per cent of sales from Into The Wild will be donated to UK charity, David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation, which funds conservation projects across Africa and Asia.
Harriet added: “The opportunity to support the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation has made all our hard work even more meaningful."
The exhibition features work by renowned artists including Tanya Russell, Suzie Marsh, Elliott of London, Marjan Wouda, Ama Menec, and the renowned Rock Art, which currently showcases stunning 'Shona' sculptures from Zimbabwe in the Plant Centre.
Additionally, Compton Acres' own resident sculptor, Brendon Murless, contributes four current and one new piece.
