The Quayside Arts Collective is a bold new group of established and emerging artists whose inspiration stems from everyday life and the surrounding landscape and sea of East Sussex and the South Downs.

Equal parts resourcefully creative and experimental, the mixed media artists have had works shortlisted in the RA’s Summer Exhibition in 2025, previously exhibited their work in Artwave, the Sussex Contemporary and galleries like the BN9 and the Crypt in Seaford.

Excitingly, the exhibition in August 2026 marks the first time these artists have exhibited together since November 2025, where their works were part of the Brasspoint Collective at Newhaven’s popular BN9 Studio space.
