The Annual Exhibition will focus on rural life and the beautiful landscape in which we live, here in East Sussex. It will feature artists and makers who feel their work represents this theme in some way. ​​

 

The Annual Exhibition provides a tangible opportunity to celebrate the outstanding and diverse talents within the local creative community in Sussex and further afield. It is a curated event by invitation. 

​

Every show we organise includes an Emerging Talent Gallery, a dedicated section for a young artist or artisan with outstanding talent in their particular creative area aged 25 or under. Applications will be presented to the selection panel and chosen accordingly. ​

​

Demonstrations of individual crafts are encouraged highlighting unique processes associated with exhibitors' and members' work.

​

The show begins on Saturday 5 September and ends on Sunday 20 September:

A percentage of the profits raised from our exhibitions goes directly to a chosen charity with a meaningful correlation with the theme of that show. The chosen charity for our Annual 2026 is the Farmers Community Network (FCN) which raises awareness and funds to support mental health issues specifically in the farming community. ​​​​​​
