Instantly recognisable and rather difficult to miss, Towner Eastbourne has been showcasing high-quality art for nearly one hundred years. The current gallery’s purpose-built construction was completed in 2009, and that year won two architectural prizes (with a third a year later in 2010). Perhaps best known for its collection of modern British art, which includes its large and significant Ravilious collection, Towner also offers community programmes such as its Learning & Engagement Programme, and provides opportunities for local artists to have their work exhibited.
