A Patcham artist will be displaying local art in her home and opening it up to visitors

Karren Urben artworkTina Gunstone exhibited her retro jewellery successfully last year in the house of the sculptor and trail coordinator Karen Norfolk at Patcham. Hearing that the Patcham trail was to be discontinued prompted Tina to open her own home with the help of her friend and fellow jeweller Lesley Smith. They invited Karen and also Karren Urben, the founder of the Patcham trail, to join them along with other popular Patcham exhibitors Wendy Dolan, Tania Corbett and Bill Phillip.

In total, 13 artists will be showing an eclectic mix of jewellery, paintings in pastel, oil and acrylic, sculpture in bronze and metal, photography, textiles and ceramics. Along with six other exciting artists, this is the exhibition to put on your ‘must see’ list.

The large garden will be home to a sculpture trail throughout the festival and in good weather you will be able to enjoy tea and cakes, with proceeds going to The Martlets Hospice.

Also at the house during May, the recently completed portrait of The Mayor of Brighton and Hove, painted in pastel by Karren Urben, will be exhibited for the first time.

179 Surrenden Road, Brighton, BN1 6NN. Open each weekend in the May Festival
including Bank Holiday Mondays, 11am-6pm. Also open Friday 9, 16, 23 May.

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk

» Artists Open Houses

AOH Special: It’s Festival time in Brighton & Hove, which means the Artists Open Houses have opened their doors for another year! Maps of all the trails can be picked up across the city. We love nothing better than browsing and buying arts and crafts, and there is so much going on throughout May that we’ve made it easier by bringing the Artists Open Houses to you! We have 11 special programmes, featuring artists in their own houses. So here’s your chance to go ‘through the keyhole’ so to speak as we visit the artists in their own environment.
