The event, which runs from Saturday, November 22 to Sunday, November 30 at Jubilee Hall in Poundbury, will feature hundreds of original artworks, prints and cards available for purchase.
Money raised will be donated to the Dorset County Hospital Charity and Arts in Hospital.
The highlight of the exhibition is a community art piece, a flock of birds, crafted by groups from local schools, youth clubs, older living communities, businesses and the Weldmar hospice.

Each bird, made from the outline of the creator’s hand, carries a personal message of hope.
On Saturday, November 15, the public can participate in this community art piece during the Community Art Day between 10am to 2pm.
Visitors to the exhibition will also have the chance to meet the artists and take part in activities ranging from oil painting to calligraphy.
A unique feature of the exhibition is the ‘tiny gallery’ from Portland, which will display and sell miniature artworks by local artists, with the creators’ identities only revealed after purchase.
Many local businesses, including CG Fry & Son Builders and Morrish Homes, have provided support for the event.
The exhibition will be open from 10am to 4pm each day.
