Sue Pritchard Loving tributes have been paid to a woman who worked tirelessly to bring the arts to Dorchester. Sue Pritchard, the first paid director of Dorchester Arts Centre, has died at home in Oxford aged 71. Until the mid 1980s, professional arts activity in Dorchester consisted of a programme of classical chamber concerts in Dorset County Museum and little else. Unlike most towns and cities across the UK, Dorchester had no arts centre building or coordinated programme of events and exhibitions. Sue was determined to make sure Dorchester had a substantial arts offering. Her husband Alan said: Sue s generous vision, tenacity and entrepreneurial vigour served the citizens of Dorchester and Dorset very well and she has earned their long-standing gratitude.
