WELCOME to The Dog House. Eighteen artists and makers will be joining us in May 2013 - all of them invited to show in our house for their originality and excellence.

Our emphasis is very much on enjoyment: yours and ours. The line up for our shows grows organically. During the first four weekends in May we'll host our usual eclectic mix: we aim to give visitors a fresh experience every show so expect new artists and makers as well as new and innovative work by our core of Dog House veterans. 

Combining the functional, the decorative and the expressive, The Dog House opens as part of Brighton's unique festival of Artists' Open Houses: art shown in domestic spaces. We opened up our house to the public for the first time in May 1999, showing the work of nine other artists and makers along with my own as part of Brighton's extraordinary grass-roots festival. Since then we have opened almost continuously, currently as part of the DYKE ROAD ARTS trail.

Please browse our showcase of Dog House artists and makers and pick up details of when, where and how to find us.
