Welcome to PEDAS Founded 1924 We celebrate our 100th birthday in 2024 with a programme of special exhibitions and events. Founded in 1924, by such luminaries as Augustus John and Henry Lamb, Poole & East Dorset Art Society continues to thrive with almost 100 members - artists in all media and of all abilities.
