ABOUT US
Inclusive | Accessible | Welcoming
OUR PURPOSE
We started in 2010 so for over 15 years our goal has been to provide support, opportunities and community for artists and creatives in the Adur District with a focus on artists living and working within the Adur District area, Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing, Sompting, Southwick, Kingston-by-Sea and Fishersgate.
One of our key activities is running the Annual Adur Art Trail in June.
We're entirely artist-led and run, relying on membership, fundraising and local sponsors and our volunteer committee to keep our Collective in motion. We welcome any support from members and the local community.
There's always something going on with our talented and busy collective of artists and creators!
Take a look at our blog to see the latest news and find out more about exhibitions and courses happening across the Adur District and how you can get involved.
JOIN US
Our inclusive ethos means we warmly welcome applications to join us from artists who can demonstrate a commitment to their ongoing practice and who live in our area.
Applications open in July (Half Year Membership) and February (Full Year Membership).

OPEN ROLES
Our Committee is run purely on volunteers and there are always ways you can help, use your skills or build your portfolio to support us. We're a small artist-managed collective, so every bit of support really does go a long way!
We're currently looking for;
-
CO-CHAIR: We would love an active Co-Chair from our members to bring new ideas, planning and the committee together to achieve our goals
-
SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT CREATOR: There is lots going on around the area, especially during the Art Trail in June when our artists are busy exhibiting and meeting people and so they don't always have the time or the skills to create great content that can support the promotion of the Art Trail and the Collective. Could you help this June - a great opportunity for a budding creator to build their portfolio!
SPONSORS
We are fortunate to have some great sponsors who have supported us over the years.
We'd like to thank our current sponsors whose generous donations really make a difference, and keep us able to run the Adur Art Trail every year for the benefit of our local creative community, residents and visitors.
