The Norman font wrought of lead, the fourteenth-century figures of stone and the stained glass that illumes the Jesse window; these and the medieval paintings drawn from earth’s pigments are among the gifts passed to us by generations of artists and craftsmen.

CADA (Contemporary Arts in Dorchester Abbey)

CADA commissions art exhibitions and performances to take place in Dorchester Abbey.

By bringing exhibitions within the ancient walls of the Abbey, CADA nurtures and sustains the traditional relationship of art and religion. In doing so CADA hopes to establish a dialogue between contemporary art and this unique sacred space, and to broaden the spiritual experience of all who come here.
