As you know, Jonny Hannah's epic seaside-themed show opens here at Atelier on Friday 22nd September, and we can now reveal the stellar lineup of contributors.

Each has been asked to create an A3-sized postcard for the show and they will all be on sale at the same price. Each is a one-off, so when they're gone, they're gone. Don't hang about if you spy a favourite artist on the list...

In more news from Darktown, we can confirm that Jonny's band The Postmen will play here in the arches on Friday 27th October. Join Johnny for an exhibition walk-around and Q&A at 6pm, followed by The Postmen at 8pm.

New in the shop this week...

Knotsy Brighton restock

We've had a new stock drop from Brighton-based Knotsy Brighton.

Raised by a creative family who were regulars at Covent Garden's famous apple market, Chantelle is following in her parent's enterprising footsteps. Shop her range of hand-crafted, useful and beautiful everyday objects, made from sustainably sourced and carefully coiled rope. Brilliant!

Inside the Atelier OPEN

There are just three weeks remaining of our Atelier OPEN exhibition, so be sure to come and visit before we say goodbye to this wonderfully varied show for another year.

This week over at our blogspot we hear from Atelier OPEN exhibitors Cassia Beck and Nick Everitt and find out more about their creative journeys.

Come and see the show before the17th September and vote for your favourite piece from the 280 artworks on display.

We're open every day, 11am-5pm, or you can view the work in our online gallery any time.

MAKE at ABtS this Autumn

Our weekly Atelier Art Clubreturns in September, offering the chance to join a relaxed and creative space where you can explore a variety of painting and drawing techniques and mediums alongside like-minded people and experienced tutors.

Every Tuesday evening, 6.00-8.30pm, our iconic beach-side classroom will be a hub of creativity. Bring your existing ideas and projects and work at your own pace, or take your lead from our tutors, all practising artists themselves. Book one session for £25, or four for £50.

Also as we head into September, we have some brilliant short courses coming up at Atelier.

Get together with some friends and join us for Cyanotype with Torz Dallison, Large Scale Gestural Drawing with Katie Sollohub, Indian Block Printing with Anne Kelly, and more. See the full calendar of courses here.

Our opening hours are much more customer-friendly than this tote bag, available now at ABtS from David Shrigley x Brainbox Candy.

We are here from 11am-5pm seven days a week, with loads of artwork, prints, ceramics, jewellery, homewares and all sorts of original gifts and cards for you to discover.

Come and see us!
