Art Tours of The South East

The area has started buzzing now with all sorts of art galleries and events happening. The Turner Contemporary Margate is at the forefront of this development with its iconic and dramatic position on Margate’s seafront, and inside is the fabulous gallery space directly facing the sea. The exhibitions will change every few months, so it will continue to be dynamic and hold the public’s interest.

Not far down the road we have Folkestone’s triennial this year with a stunning input from international artists who either live or have biographical backgrounds in countries as diverse as Algeria, Kosovo, Israel, Guyana, India and Brazil, as well as Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, Norway, Germany, Britain and the US.
The selected artists have been invited to develop new works for Folkestone’s streets, squares, beaches and historic buildings to create a cutting-edge contemporary art exhibition in the public domain.

Why not combine the two and make a fascinating day of it. With a degree in Fine Art myself I can provide the right commentary for your tour and combinations of places and events can be varied all to the interests of your group. I can plan a tailor made tour which will perfectly suit your needs.

Further down the coast is the De La Warr Pavillion at Bexhill,there is currently work by Catherine Yass a leading contemporary photographer and film-maker whose work captures the psychological impact of architectural space. It’s also a fabulous Art Deco style gallery, and for this season with a sandy beach on its roof! This could team up for a perfect day tour with the Towner at Eastbourne 9 April - 9 October 11 with paintings from the original Towner bequest, works by Eric Ravilious, Paul Nash and others and sketches for the Berwick Church murals by Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell- or perhaps visit inland to Charleston Farmhouse, the haunt of the notorious Bloomsbury Group.
