Visual Arts

At the end of August every year Arundel Gallery Trail offers 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 a walkable, open house art event featuring 100+ artists and makers and it’s free to all visitors.

2025 sees the Arundel Gallery Trail celebrating it's 36th year. It is still largely an event that takes place in and around the town centre making it largely accessible by walking and easy to navigate. There are also a handful of venues further afield, so take the time to visit them too.

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.
