Art for Wellbeing
A Studio Gallery in the heart of Eastbourne providing workshops in a professional studio context
The Collaborative Canvas
Situated in the heart of Eastbourne, at the Enterprise Shopping Centre, a hub of local independent restaurants and retailers.
We are a Community Interest Company providing 'Art for Wellbeing’ workshops, a studio/gallery space showcasing the work of Sussex based artists and makers, a registered centre for the Arts Award and an art 'hot-desking' space.
Art for Wellbeing Workshops
We work with local artists to provide workshops to individuals and small groups. We don’t expect our customers to be professional artists and if you haven’t picked up a pencil or paintbrush since school, it really doesn’t matter. We encourage individuals to come along to learn the basics of a variety of water based media and make connections, with informal instruction from our resident Art Facilitators. Workshops can be in small groups or can be offered as one to ones.
Gallery showcasing Sussex based artists
Our studio/gallery space showcases the work of Sussex based artists and makers, such as Liv & Flo, Lynn Watt, Vicki Disney, Graham Matthews, Kay Hilton, Alan Pearce and Emma Bennett. Come in and browse whenever we are open.
Registered Centre for the Arts Award
As a registered centre for the Arts Award, we support children and young people, aged between 11 and 25 years old, to complete these Trinity College, London accredited courses through guided, 1:1 tutorial support. Arts Award’s mission is to support children and young people to enjoy the arts, to connect with and take part in the wider art world and develop creativity, communication and leadership skills.
We offer the following levels (funded places are available): Bronze Arts Award, Arts Award Discover, Arts Award Explore. Contact us to find out more.
Art 'Hot-Desking'
We also offer ‘art hot desking spaces’ for artists and makers to work with others in order to combat creative isolation in daily crafting and making.
