ABOUT WORTHING ART TRAIL

​

In the early 1980’s a Brighton artist decided to fill his home with art works and invite people to come and visit to view the work. The idea was quickly taken up and shared by other artists. In 2006 it grew into the Brighton Artists Open Houses Festival and is now an annual event that still takes place in Brighton and Hove.

​

Open Houses now take place annually in many towns and cities round the UK. In Worthing the first artists open houses and studios welcomed visitors at the beginning of the new millennium!

​​

The Worthing event has taken on various forms during the last twenty years until 2020 when it was forced to take a break due to Covid.

​​

So here we are now in 2026, with a new Steering Committee established with an aim to keep this important annual cultural event taking place. The new committee is made up of local people who have a background in the arts: some of whom are practising artists with organisational experience, and some of whom are organisers with creative arts experience.

​

Amalia , Nessa and Beth hope you will join in – as either an artist, venue, or visitor. We are very much look forward to meeting you!
