If you are out and about in Folkestone’s Creative Quarter, come and take a look. The display is up until 28th June. Please contact me if you would like further information about any of the artwork exhibited there.

South East Open Studios has become an annual dynamic and growing showcase of talent and creative enterprise. 300 artists & makers across Kent and East Sussex open their studio doors to the public to share their artistic passion between 4th – 20th June.

The exhibition opening times are 10am to 6pm each day until May 31st. The Spring Exhibition usually has approximately 250 paintings and works of art on view and the majority of the work is for sale. The exhibition is rightly considered an important event in the arts calendar of the south-east and our previous exhibitions have drawn praise for the high standard of work exhibited.

Visitors are asked to vote for their favourite work of art and prizes, supported by our Patron Robert Benson, will be presented to the winning artists.

Introduced at our Spring Exhibition in 2006 was a separate competition for paintings or drawings which was generously supported by our Patron Michael Stainer of The Grand. This was so successful that there is to be a new ‘Grand Competition’ for members. The theme for this Spring’s competition is to be ‘With Flying Colours’. The competition will be on show in the Palm Court Restaurant.
