ART<br />

Out of town<br />

Chalkpit, an exhibition of work by eight local artists, will be at<br />

the newly refurbished coach house in Glynde Place, where<br />

Jacky Misson has recently been artist-in-residence. She has<br />

been collecting stories and memories from people in the village<br />

who remember when the local chalk pit was still active (it was in<br />

use from the 1840s right up to the 1980s). The exhibition takes<br />

place over the weekend of the 14th and 15th of <strong>April</strong> and there<br />

will be a Q&A session with the artists on the Saturday evening.<br />

Everyone (including children) welcome. (11am - 6pm, free.)<br />

Farley’s House and Gallery opens on Sunday the 1st of <strong>April</strong>. As well<br />

as visiting the extraordinary house, leave some time to take in the exhibitions<br />

in the gallery next door. More Light – a selection of previously<br />

unseen and overlooked images from the Lee Miller Archives and The<br />

Penrose Collection – will be on display for the entirety of the <strong>2018</strong><br />

season. Machinations - an exhibition of moving artworks made from<br />

salvaged materials by Johnny White – is displayed alongside, until the<br />

13th of May. [farleyshouseandgallery.co.uk]<br />

Inhabit, a conceptual installation of paintings,<br />

sculptures and prints from the Towner collection,<br />

invites the visitor to experience ‘immersive<br />

environments’ as they move through the gallery.<br />

Works by Edward Bawden, Gertrude Hermes<br />

and Duncan Grant are included, and newly<br />

acquired prints by Patrick Caulfield and paintings<br />

by Wilfred Avery will also be on display.<br />

The gallery is currently accepting submissions for<br />

the <strong>2018</strong> Sussex Open, bringing together the<br />

best artists - at every level of their career - from across East and West Sussex. This year Towner are<br />

introducing a new initiative, the Sussex Open Commission Award. The selected artist will receive<br />

an award of up to £1,000 to develop their project which will then be presented as part of the Sussex<br />

Open exhibition. Visit the website to find out more and submit your application by the 30th of <strong>April</strong>.<br />
