This <strong>May</strong> sees over 1,500 artists and makers<br />
exhibiting their work in artists’ homes and<br />
studios – providing a snapshot into the world<br />
of the city’s artists. The Artists Open Houses offer<br />
festival–goers the chance to meet the artists and to<br />
view locally made, seriously good arts and crafts.<br />
The festival is also an inclusive, community event,<br />
embracing artists of all ages, at all stages of their<br />
careers, including recent graduates and school<br />
and college students. <strong>AOH</strong> welcomes artists from<br />
all areas of the community, especially those who<br />
may otherwise be excluded from the mainstream<br />
art world and who may have experienced periods<br />
of homelessness, are in recovery, have learning<br />
disabilities or metal health issues.<br />
Visiting Open Houses offers the chance to chat to<br />
the artists and to buy work directly from them. The<br />
hugely diverse range of artwork on show includes<br />
paintings, prints, photography, sculpture, installation<br />
and performance, as well ceramics, textiles, jewellery<br />
and work in many other media.<br />
Plan your visit around the 14 individual trails listed in<br />
the <strong>AOH</strong> brochure, or take your pick from the wealth<br />
of venues on offer. The Open Houses stretch from<br />
Portslade to Kemptown and out to Rottingdean,<br />
Newhaven and the South Downs village of Ditchling.<br />
Entry to the houses is free and many Open Houses<br />
also offer the opportunity to get involved, providing<br />
workshops and events for both adults and children.<br />
With homemade tea and cake on offer too, the Artists<br />
Open Houses are a very special weekend treat.<br />
Opening times<br />
Most Open Houses are open <strong>May</strong> weekends from<br />
11.00-17.00, but opening times may vary from venue,<br />
to so it is best to check individual brochure listings.<br />
Some venues are also open on weekdays and many<br />
open for both the <strong>May</strong> Bank Holiday Mondays.<br />
