So, you’re an artist living in or around Brighton. You’ve visited some of the Open Houses during the Festival and thought to yourself, ‘I can do that.’ So what do you do next?

Well, there are many options. I’ll cover the main ones here, give you some recommendations and then point out some things to bear in mind.

As I explained last week, there are over a dozen different trails in Brighton and for guaranteed best exposure, I would strongly recommend that you join one of them.

Which one? Well, the best way is to see which group your home address falls in. The quickest way to do that is have a look in our maps section (click here) and see which trail is nearest your home. Then go to that trail's individual website and obtain their contact details there. As most trails evolved around the Fiveways template of a ‘walking trail’ for visitors, the distinctions are, for the most part, clear and obvious. There are some overlapping areas, in which case we would advise you to approach both trails and see which one you like best.
