Calling All Artists,

We’re excited to announce an open call for artists to take part in this year’s Brighton Open Houses.

This year, The Brighton Box Gallery will be opening a second gallery space, generously sponsored by the Dukes Lane Management. Situated directly opposite our current location, exclusively for the Brighton Open Houses period in May, featuring a fresh selection of artists from Brighton and the surrounding areas.

It’s a great opportunity for established, new and emerging Artists to showcase their work during one of the busiest and most vibrant art events in the city — and for visitors to discover and buy new original work.
