HISTORY Artists Open Houses are perhaps best known in Brighton UK as part of the Brighton Festival and Fringe . In 1982 Ned Hoskins filled his home with his and other artists work in protest at the lack of visual arts in the Brighton Festival. Ned had started a new phenomenon. This became the now well known Fiveways Artists Group. They were soon followed by other groupings of Artists' Open Houses, including Beyond the Level (founded 1996) and Kemptown Artists. As of 2007 there are now 14 such trails and additional independent venues. In recent years, Open Houses feature both as part of the Artists Open Houses Festival, which runs concurrently with the Brighton Festival , and as part of the Brighton Festival Fringe . These two organisations offer different opportunities for Open Houses and the artists who exhibit within them, and work together to create a diverse range of art available for display around Brighton.
