May 2026, a brief tour of Jane Palmer & Friends Open House.

This year’s open house included an exciting programme of talks and musical performances (all finished now). Details here.

As part of our May 2026 Open House, guest artist Jing Wang gave a recital of traditional Chinese music on the guqin, alongside her art.

Scroll down for details of this year’s artists.

Jane is showing her newest portraits, still lifes and landscapes in oils.
As usual we have Nigel Hunter’s stunning sculptures transforming our garden into what he calls ‘a conversation with the quiet’
and Stef Hunter’s handmade ceramics inspired by the spirit of the coastline.
Four guest artists join us for the first time:
Mark Findlay, who won the photography category in last year’s AOH Artist of the Year awards.
Sarah Corney, who paints in acrylics to celebrate the beauty and vibrancy of Brighton and the Downs.
Jude Clynic, a printmaker whose wood engravings are inspired by the fluidity of the sea.
Jing Wang, who practises traditional Chinese brush painting and calligraphy.
