Brighton’s Artistic Spirit Unleashed in Artists Open Houses

Brighton, a city renowned for its vibrant arts scene, is once again set to captivate locals with the much-anticipated Artists Open Houses festival this May. Among the diverse range of works on display, our very own Christopher McHugh, a Fine Art lecturer at the University of Chichester, will be showcasing his latest creative endeavours.

McHugh, a founding member of the Red Herring Studios artist collective, will be part of SHOALING, an exhibition held at the historic Regency Town House from 16th to 26th May. The exhibition promises to be a feast for the senses, featuring a variety of media from collages and ceramics to interactive displays and site-specific interventions.

The Regency Town House, with its distinctive period character, has inspired McHugh to create extremely tall paintings, a challenging feat that he has embraced with enthusiasm. His series, Raw Stratigraphy, will be on display, offering viewers a chance to experience his unique, mostly horizontal, bands of colour.

SHOALING is not just about the visual arts. It’s a celebration of creativity in all its forms, with a series of events including artist talks, demonstrations, a children’s workshop, and music. Other exhibiting artists include Andy Ash, Bryn Pratt-Boyden, Bryony Rumble, Elizabeth Bourne, Helen Rebecca Lucas, Julie Sharman, Katy Schnetler, Louis TF, Mattie Griffiths, Nick Gardner, Ratna Jan Bibi, Rebecca Angel, Tracy Roberts, and Trisha Stone.

The exhibition is open from 11am to 4pm Monday-Thursday and 11am to 6pm Friday-Sunday at the Regency Town House, 13 Regency Square, Hove, BN3 1EH. Admission is free, making it a perfect outing for locals and visitors alike. For full details of the exhibition, visit redherringstudios.org.

So, Brighton locals, mark your calendars and prepare to be inspired by the artistic talent that our city has to offer. The Artists Open Houses festival is a testament to Brighton’s thriving arts scene, and an event not to be missed.

Finding a mortgage

Buying a house is a massive investment and getting it just slightly wrong can be costly. Unless you have big savings, chances are you’re going to have to get a mortgage. It’s a loan secured against the property which means if you can’t meet the repayments the lender may repossess your home and sell it to get their money back.

The better you understand mortgages and everything to do with them, the better armed you will be to get the very best deal. With MMR in place, you’ll need to review your finances themselves before approaching possible lenders to see whether you can afford the monthly payments now and if interest rates go up, which they will…

What is MMR?

When it comes to finding a mortgage you have several options: mortgage brokers, individual banks or searching online. Again, it’s important to do your research. Searching online first, gives you a good idea of what’s available, but an independent mortgage broker can provide a more in-depth search and help you through the process. Being independent holds great value as they are not bias to any particular lenders or deals, they will give you their honest opinion and take away the stress of working your way through the mortgage market, they work for you to find you the best package to suit your requirements.

For more information on the current mortgage rules and deals, contact your local branch today to arrange an appointment.
