AN ANNUAL art gathering moved online this year - with students showcasing their artwork in an online gallery and taking part in educational and creative sessions run by professional artists. The Friendly Society of Artistic Labourers (FSAL) launched this year’s event on March 5 - and the artwork featured is now free to access on their website. The event brought together over 130 creative art students at Weymouth College, their teachers, local artists and Weymouth’s historic Nothe Fort for an exciting collaboration centred on protecting society and surviving as human beings in uncertain times. Founded in 2019, and taking its lead from the Tolpuddle Martyrs, FSAL had their very first event and exhibition at the Shire Hall in Dorchester in 2020 featuring a march of artists through the streets of Dorchester extolling the virtues of a creative life.
