The artist owned gallery is located in the prestigious, historical heart of the Brighton Lanes area, a fitting situation for a space sympathetic to the art of story-telling. The gallery houses local, national and international artists. Sculptures, textured paintings, mixed media and ceramics are Kellie's passion.

Art & Soul is an independent Gallery featuring a diverse selection of contemporary art from talented artists and makers, including work by resident artist Emma Miller. We proudly support our artists by ensuring they receive the lions share of the profit, so a purchase from Art & Soul really does go directly to the heart of the creative community. Each of the beautiful pieces in our gallery is also available as a limited edition print, which helps support both the artist and the gallery, as well as making inspirational art more accessible to all. Each is carefully printed in a Hahnemuhle certified studio on the finest Archival Art Papers or Heritage Cotton Canvas. Bespoke framing, custom finishes and a full range of beautiful papers are also available on request.

The Booth Museum is all about birds, butterflies, fossils, and bones. Founded as a Victorian collector’s private museum, the Booth Museum now brings natural history to life with interactive displays and ‘hands on’ activities.

Fabrica is a visual arts organisation based in a former Regency church in the heart of Brighton, which commissions contemporary visual art installations specific to the building. Our gallery is a place where artists come to make new work. We support and encourage these artists to be adventurous and to test the boundaries of their practice, encouraging an open dialogue between artists and visitors.
