Welcome to our second year

This is year two for our website and we've gone all out to promote the Open Houses as the main focus for visitors to the Brighton Festival. Our new Venue Search software will make finding what you want easier than ever before, linking a massive database to the most comprehensive maps you can find anywhere.
Our editorial sections have expanded too, wiith returning favourites the Open House Virgin and, later in the month, the Outsider joined by local art expert and all round good egg Fred Pipes bringing his unique wit and style to these pages. Next week we launch our Evolution feature, where Brighton Artist of the year 2005, Serena Sussex, takes us through the creation of one of her paintings from its intial inspiration, through all the working stages, to the completion of the final piece.

Welcome to the future of Arts Festival Websites

With 196 open houses and 100 Brighton Festival Fringe venues there are over 1,500 artists available to see. With disparate brochures, websites to refer to and venues with myriad opening times you could spend more of your time coordinating and researching your venues that actually visiting them!

	What's an Open House then?
	In response to dozens of emails and a question raised in an editorial by the Outsider (who will be returning to these pages soon) our very own Bill Black takes his leisurely time telling you what an Open House is, how they evolved and how you set about running one and finding other artists to join you. Having opened his own home for five years, there's a good chance he knows what he's talking about! continue

	Return of the Open House Virgin
	She hasn't aged a day in the intervening year - she does, after all, have a picture in the attic. Once more Christina Ure opens her front door to the world but this time she has backup. As part of the venerable Fiveways Artists' Group, she's in with the big boys now. Will it make a difference? Will she be busier than she was last year? With more artists exhibiting in her home, we think her chances have definitely improved. To find out what she thinks... continue
