Why not enjoy an artsy weekend in Brighton and check out some unique and affordable art at the winter Artists' Open Houses?

Browse and buy from over 60 venues
Now in its 5th year, the Christmas Artists Open Houses offers a great way to browse and buy great art direct from the artists. With over 60 houses taking part, the houses offer a friendly and welcoming environment in which to browse for Christmas presents or something for the home.

You'll find everything from painting, printmaking and sculpture to ceramics, furniture, jewellery, furnishings, textiles and Christmas decorations. You'll even find some mulled wine and other festive goodies!

2 weekends in December
The Christmas Artists' Open Houses will be open on Saturday 1st  and Sunday 2nd December and Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th December. Brochures are available across the city or you can contact the Brighton Visitor Information Centre for a copy.

Cultural Event of the Year
The Artists' Open Houses also scooped the prize for 'Cultural Event of the Year' at the Brighton Business Awards this year, concreting the important place the Open Houses hold in the city.

And if you want to make a weekend of it, we've got some great winter break offers, as well as lots of other cultural things to do across the city.
