Artists Open Houses May Festival 2026
2 May – 25 May

Brighton’s much-loved springtime sprawl of creativity returns as living rooms, studios, and seaside boltholes fling open their doors for another year. Expect everything from established painters and ceramicists to first-time exhibitors, community collectives, and the odd gloriously eccentric maker you’ll be talking about for weeks. With more than a dozen trails stretching from the seafront to the Downs, it’s the perfect excuse to wander, nose about, and discover work you’d never find in a white cube gallery.
