ABOUT US
Based in Brighton and Hove, we celebrate diversity through art across Sussex and the wider South East, building connections and sparking creative collaborations. We're not just about location; we're about weaving stories and forging bonds that transcend boundaries, embracing communities both near and far. Together, we aim to craft a tapestry of inclusivity that paints a brighter, more connected world through free exhibitions, workshops, and cultural events.
