Brighton Art Space opens a Hove venue in a former refrigeration firm's home
BAS 106 on Coleridge Street opens with De/Frost, a 25-artist show, over the three Artists Open Houses winter weekends. Free to visit.
Brighton Art Space CIC, the artists’ studio group on Regent Street in Brighton, has taken on a new space in Poet’s Corner. BAS 106 is on the ground floor of 106 Coleridge Street in Hove, in a building that used to belong to a refrigeration company. It opens to the public for the first time on Saturday 28 November.
The first show is called De/Frost. It hangs in the space as it is now, raw and unfinished. Partitions go up later, and the group plans to open studios there next year. Studio 106 is upstairs.
There are 25 artists in the show, most of them painters. Pollyanna Doyle and Joyce Lo show ceramics, Richard Gladman shows woodwork and Elissa Jane Diver shows photography. The group’s listing says it mixes well-known local names with emerging artists, and announces the opening with the line “Brighton Art Space CIC moves to Hove.”
The Regent Street studios still open for the festival, on the same weekends from 11am to 6pm, and stay open late on Thursday 10 December, from 3pm to 8pm.
De/Frost is part of the Artists Open Houses winter festival. It is open 11am to 5pm on the festival’s three weekends, 28 and 29 November, 5 and 6 December, and 12 and 13 December. Like every Open House, it is free to visit.
