Artist Quarter, Brighton

The Artist Quarter is a series of studios located on the beach between East Street and Kings Road just west of Brighton Pier. There are over a dozen artists' lofts that feature different types of wares for browsing and buying. Look for painters, photographers, sculptors, jewelry makers and crafters with unique and beautiful souvenirs for you to take home.

Offerings and hours vary by studio but most are open from noon to sundown. One of the first spots you can stop at is King's Arch Gallery, which has a revolving schedule of exhibitions. You can then make your way through the Artist Quarter while you walk along the beach of the English Channel.

Along with the various art studios you will see a number of bars and restaurants until you eventually end up at the Brighton Fishing Museum. If you find yourself in the area after dark, there is still plenty to do with several nightclubs located around the Artist Quarter.
