Sussex Contemporary Art Exhibition

The Sussex Contemporary Open Call, or ‘Th e Sussex’ for short, is the fi rst major art exhibition to celebrate the rich creativity in the county which has a strong heritage of art. Over 400 artists registered their interest. Joanna Myles, artist and co-founder of Th e Sussex, who appeared on Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year 2021, says “It can be diffi cult for new and emerging artists to fi nd ways to show their work. Sussex has such a vibrant art community, and we want to showcase this amazing talent.”

Th e exhibition of the selected work ran from October 8th to 22nd. Th e exhibition drew visitors from London and across the South East and was free to the public to visit. All the work will be available for sale. A percentage of each sale will be donated to Table Talk Foundation, a charity that supports food education and the hospitality sector in Sussex.

Over the two weeks there were also several additional fundraising events that combine art and culinary arts. www.thesussexcontemporary.co.uk
