Weʼve learnt over the last 18 months how important art and making is to people, we hope Atelier Beside the Sea will become the destination that encourages and inspires creating of all kinds. The 3 arches will comprise: GALLERIES - Our 2 galleries will be spaces for surprising, fresh and original contemporary art, craft and design. A national and international programme of exhibitions is currently being put together. SHOP - The shop will specialise in beautiful and practical handmade work and highlight the individual makers and their processes. There will be a carefully curated selection of ceramics, textiles, jewellery, print, painting and sculpture from Atelier 51ʼs designer-makers alongside other outstanding artists, craftspeople and designers from Sussex, and across the world. MAKE - The teaching and community programme will create and run varied classes for all levels. From porcelain paperclay, wood carving and jewellery making, to sustainable fashion design and drawing on the beach, there will be something to inspire everyone. HIRE - The arches will be available to hire for community events and by local artists and makers, corporate meetings, events and product launches. |
