Art Junky
ART JUNKY 4
Sunday 28 June 12 noon – 6pm Phoenix Brighton
The first SUMMER Art Junky, an eclectic and busy bazaar, with artists, makers, collectors, performers & anyone else who has unusual object d’art to sell. Bringing together the best of Brighton’s lively jumble sale culture and its enterprising artist population for a one-day flea market. Located throughout the ground floor of Phoenix Brighton. Offering art works from fledgling and established artists in Brighton and the South East. It also caters for buyers on the look out for affordable art, antiques, unusual castoffs, and “junk stall” inspiration.
HOW IT BEGAN: In 2007 a group of Phoenix artists invited the public to attend a traditional jumble sale – a cosy indoor market in chilly February. The difference was that weird, wonderful and sometimes absurd items were for sale these items had once been the seed of inspiration for works of art by the artists. A regular clear out of the artists studios became a popular event in the creative calendar with the funds from sales being fed back into the Arts Charity, Phoenix Brighton www.phoenixbrighton.org
