The sixth annual East Sussex Contemporary Art Fair is now open to submissions from professional and emerging artists, designers and makers. Galleries and artist’s groups are also eligible, please contact us for details.

The East Sussex Contemporary Art Fair is organised to help raise funds for Rye College, Arts & Enterprise Specialist School. Each year the money raised helps provide additional resources for the school. Last year’s art fair helped raise funds for a group of students to visit Ghana to gain first hand experience of what life and education are like in West Africa. As a Creative Partnerships Change School, staff at Rye College believe that a rich arts experience makes learning an enjoyment; They hope to enhance student’s learning experience further by supporting them in their ambition to create  once in a lifetime experiences.
