AWARD WINNERS AUTUMN EXHIBITION 2022.
"Seddlescombe" "Oyster Catchers" "Amy"
The Society of Eastbourne Arists organises and hosts two exhibitions each year, the Spring Exhibition and the Autumn Exhibition.
Held in the Grade ll listed Eastbourne Town Hall, both exhibitions provide our members with a prominent and well publicised platform to showcase their artwork and talent and the opportunity to win one of the many awards available: The Mayors Challenge Cup, The Eastbourne Herald Plate and Trophy, the Andrew Forrest Memorial Trophy and the People's Choice Award.
These exhibitions, held since 1961, are a prime focus for the Society and our members and continue to be very popular with the many visitors, local or otherwise.
The Society of Eastbourne Artists donates a percentage of monies raised from all exhibitions to the Mayor's chosen Charities.
