Fabrica marks 30 years with its first winter art fair in the Lanes
Local artists and makers will sell their work directly inside the former church on 28 and 29 November. Entry is free.
Fabrica, the gallery in a former church in Brighton’s Lanes, is holding its first winter art fair over the weekend of 28 and 29 November. Local artists and makers will fill the building with stalls and sell their work directly to visitors. Entry is free.
The gallery says the fair is a new seasonal event to celebrate 30 years of Fabrica. It opened in March 1996 in the deconsecrated Holy Trinity Church, set up by a group of artists from Red Herring Studios. The church had closed in 1985.
Expect painting, printmaking, ceramics, jewellery, textiles and illustration. A selection panel chose the exhibitors from an open call, and the Sunday and whole-weekend stalls sold out. Fabrica says its previous fairs drew more than 500 visitors a day on average, and it wants this one to launch “a new seasonal tradition”.
The fair runs from 11am to 7pm on Saturday and 11am to 5pm on Sunday. The Fabrica bar will be open all weekend, with music planned for the Saturday evening. Everything is indoors.
