VISUAL ARTS
Every year THE ARUNDEL GALLERY TRAIL offers visitors the chance to explore this beautiful West Sussex town in a new way. Artists, makers, galleries, shops and homeowners throw open their doors, and let you inside their studios, houses and their creative thought processes. The Trail is mostly walkable with a handful of venue further afield and it’s free to all visitors.
2025 sees the Arundel Gallery Trail celebrating it's 36th year and once again embracing a wide variety of artistic endeavour. Painters are well represented throughout the Trail and amongst the ceramicists, jewellers, sculptors, glass artists, photographers, woodworkers, printmakers and textile artists, you will still find many practitioners in the art of putting paint to canvas and all with strikingly different approaches.
The Gallery Trail runs daily from 16th - 25th August between 12 noon and 5pm. You can pick up a free guide at every venue displaying the blue and yellow numbered flags or from many outlets in the town. Entry is free.
All artists and makers will be on hand to discuss their work, much of which is for sale should you be looking for something special.
The secret artist exhibition and auction returns, in which bids can be placed silently, either online or
in person at the Victoria Institute on Tarrant Street, throughout the trail.
This year 90 artists are taking part and there are 42 venues.
