BRIGHT ON is an annual open call art exhibition held in one of the iconic arches on Brighton seafront.

 

The exhibition celebrates Brighton and Sussex, with artwork by local artists at varying stages of their artistic career or journey. The aim of the open call process is to make the experience of exhibiting as accessible as possible. 

​

This year there are over 60 artists involved, and over 100 artworks have been carefully curated for a colourful artistic tour of our local area. Come and take a journey from the sea, and up onto the beach. Carry on past the piers, head along the seafront and up into the lanes, before exploring the South Downs beyond. 

​

Most of the artworks will be for sale, with both originals and prints available. 

​

Exhibition open from 11am - 6pm, on the 15th - 19th April, at the Fishing Quarter Gallery (next to the Brighton Fishing Museum on the seafront).
