Supporting Not-For-Profit Arts in Brighton, Hove & Beyond
Brighton & Hove Arts Council was founded in 1974 by a group of enthusiasts to support and promote the not-for-profit arts sector in Brighton, Hove and beyond, making strong and healthy local communities. We are a registered charity that continues to be run entirely by unpaid volunteers.
Our new Arts Diary, covering what’s on in Brighton, Hove and the surrounding areas during March, April and May 2020 will soon be available from various venues across Sussex Also Our online calendar has detailed information on the events run by our 80+ group members who cover classical music, choirs, jazz, amdram, dance, poetry, fine art, embroidery, radio, discussion groups, lectures and more! There are events to enjoy in mornings, lunchtimes, afternoons and evenings. Most member groups are open to new members so you can join them and take part yourself. Pick up an Arts Diary and you’ll be spoilt for choice! And see our Members list for full details of them all.
Please note: Several of our Group Members now have long-running exhibitions and these are now listed separately from the main Online Arts Diary. You can view them listed here by order of their opening date.
