Atelier Beside the Sea opened its doors at the start of July 2021 and is the latest venture from Tutton and Young who have over 20 years experience organising some of the best Art and Craft events in the country including MADE LONDON, Brighton Art Fair and MADE Brighton all three major events returning this Autumn.
Atelier Beside The Sea occupies 3 large arches comprising 2 gallery spaces, a shop specialising in work by designer makers and a teaching and event space. It has a beautiful and prominent position right on Brighton beach between the piers, just to the east of the Shelter Hall food
market, down from West Street. The exhibition takes place for 8+ weeks during the summer holidays.
