21 NOVEMBER-13 DECEMBERARTISTS’ OPEN HOUSES Across Brighton and Hove

When the May AOH festival had to be postponed, organisers of this much-loved citywide event decided to amalgamate it with the Christmas Artists’ Open Houses into one extended four-week extravaganza.

This is a great way to get some of your Christmas shopping done while supporting local creatives: there will be a whole range of artworks, ceramics, jewellery, prints, photography and a whole host of unusual Christmas presents, cards and other gifts.

There will be a new Virtual Open Houses strand, which will include virtual tours of artists’ houses, studios and galleries. aoh.org.uk
