WELCOME TO SUSSEX MODERN
from SUSSEX MODERN #2
by sussexmodern
At the edge of the country where land meets sea, Sussex has always attracted those who look outwards to imagine the world differently. Nowhere is this more noticeable than in the region’s many art galleries and museums, risen up from the artists’ communities that dot the county.
One such place was conceived 100 years ago when its patron founder left behind 22 paintings and a wish for an art gallery. A century later, Towner Eastbourne is the focus of the entire art world, and host to the Turner Prize 2023. This renowned contest couldn’t have found a more fitting home than here in Sussex. And while the whole world is looking, we want to show you just why so many generations of artists, bohemians, producers and free-thinkers have found their homes here too.
