The Claremont is back in it's fourth year as an Open House and proud to be showing one of the biggest and most impressive collections of contemporary art in the Festival.

We hope the combination of over 30 artists contributing stunning new work in a wide variety of mediums throughout this charming Victorian building and walled garden, plus the chance to sneak a peak at Brighton and Hove's first five-star guest accomodation, will make this an opportunity not to be missed!

During May, we are open every weekend 11-6pm EXCEPT Sunday the 22nd but we are open on the Bank Holiday Monday (30th)

Rhona Garvin

Born in Northern Ireland, I moved to Hove in 2001, having worked at the Science Museum in London for 5 years, curating contemporary art projects. An MA in Sequential Design and Illustration followed at Brighton University and in 2004 I joined Eastwing illustration agency and began working in editorial illustration. Recently, between commissions, I have been making screen prints. These are influenced by printed ephemera, children’s illustrations from the 60’s and 70’s, political posters, folk art and outsider art. My next move will be to experiment with printing designs onto fabric.
