Welcome to AfricArt

an eclectic Open House where soulful Stone Sculptures from Zimbabwe and vibrant Nigerian Art & Textiles rub shoulders with mesmerizing Art and beautiful Craft made by local artists/makers. Over 100 sculptures are displayed in our split-level house and terraced gardens featuring work by ‘first generation’ Zimbabwean Sculptors and up-and-coming artists.

Our local Guest Artists this year are:
Edith Burtenshaw: Photographic imagery
Rebecca Jenkins: Ceramic Shaman animal figures
Rebecca Jones: Jewellery
Sarah McLean: Handwoven rugs and wall hangings which combine vibrant colour, geometry and texture
Jeni Sharpstone: Paintings, charcoal drawings and lino-cuts

Sculpting Workshops are run in the garden by two Zimbabwean artists using raw serpentine and opal stone from Zimbabwe – a great opportunity to learn new skills and unlock your creative potential. Come and observe or join in. Booking essential.

We are located near the A27/Dyke Rd Avenue and close to the A23. The Withdean Sports Centre is nearby. On-road parking is pretty good.

EVERYTHING IS FOR SALE
Art, sculpture, ceramics, handwoven rugs, hand-made applique cushions, cards and Jewellery.
