Open-air gallery showcases work from artists across the country

Brighton’s Art Yard Sale transformed Jubilee Square into an open-air gallery on Sunday, May 31, as part of the closing celebrations for Brighton Fringe 2026. Organized by Kaos Projects, the event featured over 30 artists from across the UK, offering original pieces, limited editions, and exclusive releases directly to visitors. The lineup included established and emerging talent working in painting, printmaking, illustration, photography, street art, and mixed media.

The event matters because it demonstrates a growing public appetite for direct engagement with artists and the creative community, breaking down traditional barriers between makers and audiences. By fostering a friendly environment where conversations and collecting can flourish, the Art Yard Sale supports local and national artists while reinforcing the role of public art events in revitalizing city spaces and strengthening the cultural economy.
