Welcome to Emerald Ant

Emerald Ant CIC is an arts organisation and Community Interest Company based in Dorset, England. Established in 2015, we run arts programmes with schools and communities celebrating local heritage, whether that is dinosaurs, bluebell woods, rivers, ancient mills, hillforts or human heroes.

We are funded by Dorset Council, the Arts Council of England, National Lottery Heritage Fund, trusts and foundations, and special interest groups such as the Palaeontological Association, National Landscapes, Jurassic Coast Trust and others. Our projects bring in experts such as archaeologists, geologists, rangers, Dorset Wildlife Trust and the National Trust. Groups then work with our artists to create exciting art for community events.

Our dinosaur show, The Iguanodon Restaurant, continues to tour around the country.
