Crowborough Arts supports the arts, and arts practitioners in our area.

Last spring, at the beginning of the pandemic, we decided to use this website to keep in touch, and to create a space for use as a showcase for our members' work. We're hoping of course to see a gradual return to our normal activities, but for now, we're still inviting and encouraging you to contribute - perhaps a new painting or photograph you'd like to share, a poem or maybe a short story. 

Get involved by emailing Gaye with your suggestions and ideas. In particular, if you'd like to be featured as an artist, with a picture of you or your work, and would be willing to give a short telephone interview, we'd love to hear from you.

As physical meetings are not possible at the moment, members have been meeting via Zoom, Click here for the latest titles and to find out what they thought!

We're excited to announce that we're now accepting entries for Open Studios 2021. Before the pandemic struck, we'd planned a bumper event for 2020, to celebrate CA's 10th birthday. It was not to be, however, so now we want to make 2021 a year to remember. Do get in touch if you'd like to take part - we're always keen to hear from new artists, and we'd love those who've taken part before to join in again.

Adventures with Charlie Chaplin

Picture
We’re excited to announce that we have now re-booked the wonderful ZRI band in their special show, ZRI’s Adventures with Charlie Chaplin. Part concert, part film screening, the audience is transported to the melting pot of early 20th Century New York where jazz, klezmer and classical music intertwine in film soundtracks. ZRI match the wit, virtuosity and sheer brilliance of Chaplin in his creative prime as they perform live alongside his early classic ‘The Adventurer’. The show brought the house down at The Royal Albert Hall, so we know it’ll be a night to remember here in Crowborough. The event takes place on 9th October at the Community Centre. More details on buying tickets will be released nearer the time. For now though, do get the date in your diary!

Our 2021 AGM was held on Sunday 28th February via Zoom. Although numbers were down on what we'd expect for a normal, face-to-face meeting, we were quorate, with several members attending in addition to the Steering Committee. 

The entire committee was voted in once again en bloc, the only change being that going forward the position of Chair will now be shared by Angela Vernon Bates and Gaye Jee.

Membership has held up well during the pandemic, with 150 members at present. It's hoped that with the gradual easing of restrictions, we can begin to plan ahead for regular events, including our annual garden party and Open Studios weekend.
