Artists Open Houses Festival

Over 200 artists’ homes and studios are open in Brighton this May to showcase their best work. It’s a fantastic opportunity to source local art for your collection, purchasing from the artist themself! There’s also workshops, tea and cake and more across the locations.


Sourpuss at Komedia
