Open Photographic Competition   View Printable Version 

The Green Tree Gallery is this week launching a photographic competition entitled My Favourite Things.

The brief is simple: photograph your favourite thing or things.

Photography is a growing art form and in this digital age is becoming far more accessible. New talents are emerging as more people are able to experiment with the art of making pictures without splashing about with chemicals! The Green Tree Gallery display the work of several up and coming photographers and feel it is important to expand on this and encourage those who are finding their way and experimenting with a camera, maybe for the first time.

The Puzzle Box, Chapter 4   View Printable Version 
"Urizen separated out a region from the rest of eternity, shrank it into solid matter, weighed it in his scales, measured it with his rods and plumblines, circumscribed it with his compasses, and wrote laws for it in his great brass-bound books.

This sorry region, the region over which Urizen rules, is the universe in which we live..."
Music, Morris and More at Boutique Hotel   View Printable Version 
Cutting edge music, contemporary art, and morris dance – that's what's on offer in a new programme of events at the Beechwood Hall in Worthing. Artist Debbie Zoutewelle is the hotel's new manager, and she is planning a range of arts and music events for spring and summer.

To launch the season, Debbie has invited Sompting Village Morris to a special breakfast as part of their May Day celebrations. The traditional procession starts on May 1st at 6.30am in Worthing town centre, and members of the Morris side will stop at Beechwood Hall at 8.30am for breakfast. The public are welcome to turn up and join the dancers – who may be persuaded to perform in the hotel gardens.

From Monday 19th-Wednesday 21st May, photography students from Northbrook College use The Cellar to exhibit photography, film and installation work. Students are producing artwork inspired by the venue and its history, and the exhibition will be designed to fit the unusual space with its corners, cubby-holes and corridors.
Brighton Frocks presents Brighton Fashion Weekend   View Printable Version 
The stage is set, the models are ready and the venues have been confirmed for the first ever Brighton Fashion Weekend - brought to you by the same team behind the hugely successful Brighton Frocks fashion shows, launched back in 2004.

Brighton has always been a creative hub, attracting artists, writers and other creatives, and boasting top class restaurants, chic boutique hotels and some of the best British musical talent around today.
Not Brighton, But Worthing   View Printable Version 
It's been a long time since the Revolutionary Arts Group was founded, based around a group of artists working and exhibiting in an old pottery in Worthing town centre. Back then, Worthing was bleak; there were no other contemporary arts groups in the town, and little opportunity for artists to make and show work.

But right now, Worthing's buzzing. The Revolutionary Arts Group have supported other groups as they've started up, maintained a strong annual Festival, and helped individual artists within the group to grow, too. One of them now runs a boutique, arty hotel that home to live music and regular exhibitions; and the Revolutionary Arts Group have taken over a shop in Warwick Lane. Revolutionary Music stocks CDs, records, books ... and fanzines. Small, independent, self-published magazines are a good cultural indicator, appearing to document an emerging scene but also helping it to grow and reach a wider audience.

And Worthing now has Shed, a cracker of an A5 fanzine.
Boutique Shopping in Worthing's Lanes   View Printable Version 
New CDs, records and books, screenprinted posters, limited edition prints, handmade badges, fanzines, poetry and artist-made books - it's all at Revolutionary Music.

Worthing's music boutique stocks indie, rock, folk, jazz, dance and electronica - alongside art. Currently featured from the Revolutionary Arts Group are Melissa Ede (paintings), Matt Douthwaite (screenprinted posters), Michelle Dawson (limited edition prints), and Dan Thompson (small paintings). Also in stock are badges by Emmi, Mark Pawson and Dan Thompson.
Music Outside The Box   View Printable Version 
Music played on unlikely instruments, performances in beach-huts and on station platforms, and shows that mix music, poetry and dance are all promised in the Soundwaves Festival 2008.

Reflecting the diversity of its home city of Brighton, events in the second year of the festival go beyond music to explore connections with the visual and other performing arts.

Sarah Nicolls’ performance of works for piano and live electronics at the Pavilion Theatre on Sunday 22 June gives a flavour of the festival. It combines cutting-edge technology, the use of sensors, on-stage electronics, moving images, and live performance art by dance artist Augusto Corriere. And to add another unknown element, composer Christopher Fox will be on hand to make 'noise interventions'!

This experimental and audio-visual theme continues in three free-to-visit installations at the Sallis Benney Theatre. Open daytimes on Monday 23rd, Tuesday 24th and Friday 27 June, the creations by artists and musicians will blur the boundaries between the two disciplines
