Throughout these challenging years, Sussex’s artists and makers have been holed up in their studios and the result in terms of creative output is outstanding. Visitors to this year’s Winter Festival will be impressed with the quality and diversity of the paintings, ceramics, textiles, jewellery on sale. Away from the stress and stock shortages of the high street and the internet, Artists Open Houses offers a different Christmas shopping experience – one of unique items, homemade fayre, hospitality and real life festive fun. What’s more, shoppers will have a clear conscience that the money spent goes directly to creatives and supporting the local economy not lining the pockets of oligarchs.
Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, Artists Open Houses Winter 2022 is a special edition. Fifty-three houses across the Brighton and Hove area will be opening their doors to welcome art lovers, visitors and shoppers into their homes. The focus of the winter festival is Christmas, with venues selling a range of artworks and handmade crafts as unique gifts. When buying from AOH for Christmas you are safe in the knowledge that your money is going straight to the maker, and that you are supporting artists’ careers in the process.
There is a fantastic choice of work to buy this Christmas, including ceramics, textiles, paintings, jewellery, original prints and many other artworks by both emerging and established artists. At AOH you have the opportunity to see artwork in a domestic setting and meet the artist or maker too.
Many of the houses also offer festive fayre too, creating a warm atmosphere to make the whole Christmas shopping experience interesting, pleasurable and unhurried.
