Lost and Foundry at The Stanley Road Store (AOH)<br />
Unlimited has Party Animals - an exhibition of prints by<br />
local illustrator extraordinaire Dan Walters - in store from<br />
the 10th. The <strong>2016</strong> Christmas Artists Open Houses festival<br />
starts on Saturday 26th, with another chance to buy direct<br />
from artists and makers in their houses and studios all<br />
around <strong>Brighton</strong>, Lewes and Ditchling too. [aoh.org.uk] If<br />
you prefer your artists all in one place, Art Junky, the collision<br />
of artistic talent and jumble-sale culture, is at <strong>Brighton</strong><br />
Open Market on the 26th. [phoenixbrighton.org] And, just<br />
in case you’ve missed them, the trail of Snowdogs by the<br />
Sea, continues until the 27th. Got a favourite? Make it your<br />
own at the auction on the 6th December. All proceeds go to<br />
the Martlets Hospice. [snowdogsbythesea.co.uk]<br />
...and out of town<br />
Towards Night continues at Towner in Eastbourne.<br />
This major exhibition, curated by Sussex<br />
artist Tom Hammick, juxtaposes works by<br />
artists as diverse as Turner, Doig, and Munch<br />
to explore the darkness and all it entails. Unmissable.<br />
Also at the gallery, One Day, Something<br />
Happens: Paintings of People, features figurative<br />
works by an equally impressive roll-call<br />
of names, including Sickert, Lucien Freud,<br />
Hockney and Rose Wylie. Both run until<br />
January 2017.<br />
‘Echo Lake’ by Peter Doig, 1998<br />
‘Pollination’ by Tadek Beutlich<br />
Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft follow their summer of print with an<br />
autumn of textiles. Tadek Beutlich: Beyond Craft examines the work of the<br />
late Polish-born artist, weaver and tapestry maker, who lived and worked<br />
in the village for some time. Working directly and spontaneously from his<br />
prints, rather than formal designs, his work challenged the usual definitions<br />
of craft. Concurrently, the museum celebrates the 100th anniversary of fellow<br />
villager Ethel Mairet’s definitive text A Book of Vegetable Dyes with a live<br />
research project, in which artists and craftspeople will use her recipes to create<br />
their own natural dyes. The results will be on display over the course of<br />
the exhibition. Christmas at Nymans starts on the 26th with an exhibition<br />
of vintage Ladybird Books illustrations at Nymans, the National Trust house<br />
and gardens at Handcross, near Haywards Heath. [nationaltrust.org.uk]<br />
