Devonshire Collective (DC) is a contemporary arts organisation rooted in Eastbourne’s Devonshire Ward. For ten years we have made art alongside the people of our neighbourhood: free exhibitions at VOLT, our gallery; free artist-led learning at DC Learn, our learning space; and projects co-created with residents, artists and partner organisations.
Collective Books, our bookshop at VOLT, stocks contemporary art publications, experimental printed matter and limited editions, and runs a book club with every exhibition.
Everyone is welcome.
Free, after school art group every Tuesday for 6–11’s for Networx registered families only.
Sticky Fingers is a FREE, weekly (term-time only) art and messy play group for parents and carers with pre school children.
A weekly art course for 6–11’s. We will cover both 2D and 3D work with a variety of painting, drawing, collage, mixed media, and building a personal sketchbook to keep.
We are looking for 8 participants to join a workshop developed in response to the legacy of artist and activist Tessa Boffin. This is part of an ambitious national touring exhibition.
Led by artist Stuart Waters and developed in collaboration with curator Polly Wright, Where We Touch the Archive explores ways of encountering and re-examining Boffin’s archive through embodied and creative practice.
A symposium of performance, readings, conversation, reflection and practice in response to the legacy of Tessa Boffin
Discover, Celebrate, Grow is DC's heritage project: a year of digging into the history of the Devonshire Ward with the people who live here, from storytelling walks and community research to filmmaking with foraged materials.
Devonshire Collective is extremely grateful to the many companies and individuals who support the gallery, including Chalk Cliff Trust, The Duke of Devonshire’s Charitable Trust, John Jackson Charitable Trust, Roy Hudson Trust and Safer in Sussex Community Fund.
