Unique and affordable art and craft at The Bungeroosh Gallery, all weekends in May, Brighton Festival of Artists Open Houses 2010
Following the success of my Christmas Artists Open House, I am opening The Bungeroosh Gallery again for the May Festival (for the first time over two floors) with work inspired by a modern twist on the theme, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Not to be missed are the giant hubcap flowers which we plan to mount on the balcony and railings of the house, made by local recycle artists Tina Tighe and Su Breakwell. Other highlights include a unique tree installation on the first floor (along with with artificial grass floor) which will be hosting Liz Toole's birds painted on reclaimed wood.
Throughout April I will be posting information on progress of setting up the gallery and publishing a little information on work in progress and stills about each artist exhibiting this May to give you a taster of the forthcoming exhibition. I have loaded up some stills to give you an idea of the range and quality of their work. I hope this will tempt you out of your virtual bubble to come tread the slightly eccentric, artificial grass and recycled flower strewn floors of our gallery/home and explore a really stunning range of art and craft. This includes ceramics, jewellery, textiles, photography, clothes, cushions, recycled gifts / art, collage, paintings and prints. Oh... and maybe try some amazing cakes made by my mother in law. What's life without cake!?

Parents will need to stay but while the kids get on making things you can take in the gallery and grab a cup of tea, cake or try some freshly baked tea breads with home made jams.
