'Open Phoenix Brighton'
Phoenix Brighton invites the community inside for a completely free event full of artistic excitement. With over 100 artists studios to explore our open weekend is one of the biggest visual arts events in Brighton arts calendar and features a wealth of free talks, screenings, artistic interventions, and the opportunity to talk to Phoenix Brighton artists about their work. There will even be the chance to get hands-on, with free taster sessions of many of the art courses run at Phoenix throughout the year.
The Phoenix shop will be offering you the chance to pick up beautiful artworks created by the artists you'll meet.

We will be showcasing our work with local communities and offering you the chance to get involved with Phoenix Brighton.
