Swanage has a rich cultural heritage: the beauty of the unique coastline and town have drawn artists of international stature to paint here, including Walter Field, Charles Conder, Paul Nash, Mark Gertler, Augustus John and Graham Sutherland.
Swanage Seen celebrates this with an Art Trail - a display panel, showing the painting, a portrait of the artist and a short biography, will be placed on or near the site from where the original picture was painted.
Problems with planning permission are still delaying installation: you can find out more at www.swanageseen.co.uk, and see an exhibition of the completed panels in the Heritage Centre in Swanage during PAW 2010.
