Why visit?
Eastbourne Artists Open Houses offers a rare opportunity to step inside working studios across the town.
The Willingdon area hosts a small group of participating houses this year — just a short drive from Old Town and conveniently located close to the A27 and A22.
If you’re travelling into Eastbourne, the studio is an easy stop on the way in — or on the way home.
Visiting offers a chance to see new work before it appears online, experience the paintings in natural light, and talk about process and inspiration in a relaxed setting.
You can view the full list of participating houses on the official Eastbourne Artists Open Houses website.

Many of the paintings on view form part of ongoing bodies of work exploring light, atmosphere and place across Sussex:
