There's No Place Like It - Summer Show 2026

Please save the date for the re-opening of Dora House after the completion of the programme of building works delivered through the project Creating a Home for Sculptors that has transformed our derelict basement into a welcoming flat for visiting artists with flexible studio space and a home for the Royal Society of Sculptors’ archive.

We look forward to welcoming you back at Dora House for the re-opening weekend (Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September)! 

We will present the 2026 Summer Show curated by acclaimed designer Henry Holland. Henry has chosen as theme There’s No Place Like It echoing the Society’s Year of the Home celebrations as we mark 50 years at Dora House, following Cecil Thomas OBE FRBS’ generous gift to the Society.

The exhibition is supported by Hallett Independent and our media partner, Apollo, in addition to the Marsh Charitable Trust who will support the annual Summer Show Award.

The galleries will also be open on Sunday 20 September and artist Arpita Shah will run a free drop-in creative workshop What Does Home Mean to You?, part of our Year of the Home programme of activities.
