Sussex Art Fairs

Situated in the heart of picturesqe Sussex Downs at the world renowned Goodwood Racecourse, Sussex Art Fairs brings the art world to West Sussex for one weekend only, 15th to the 17th of May 2020.

The art fair is spread over two main halls, one for Galleries & Collectives and the other for Independent Artists, which provides the ultimate art fair experience for our visitors and budding art collectors.

The 3 day event starts with the Private View at 5pm on the Friday Evening where visitors will be able to browse for their favourite artworks with a glass of wine and be the first to view the exhibitors' collections before the event opens to the general public.

Ceramic Plasticity

Reflecting the resurgence of craft and skills-based making in art over the past decade, this one-day symposium explores common ground between contemporary art and studio ceramics. Emphasising the commonalities between artist and craftsperson, the event focuses on practical, theoretical, and professional aspects of working with clay, embodied in its malleability and resistance - its plasticity.
