Gallery Listing: Chichester

An essential part of learning about art and feeling comfortable talking about art is to actually go to museums, galleries, or art events and immerse yourself in the art community. By visiting art centers you become more aware of what styles you are attracted to as well as what art/artists make you think. 
I have decided that every few weeks I will post a blog on a city and shed some light on some of the galleries in that particular location. This time I have selected the seaside town of Chichester in England. Here is a list of the current exhibitions at some of the contemporary art centers in the area.

If you are in the Chichester area and have access to a car, you should also stop by the West Dean Gallery and the Cass Sculpture Foundation. Admission is free to all the galleries.


So go ahead and visit Chichester if you are in the region. If you are not in the area, start looking into art centers in your town.** Go and explore, all you need to bring is an open mind!


*The Pallant House Gallery currently features many different exhibitions, including Henry Moore Textiles, The Search for the Real: The Figure from Sickert to Auerbach, Eric Gill: Sacred and Profane, and Modern British Art: The First 100 Years
**My city selections are pretty arbitrary, however I will try to avoid mentioning major art centers in cities such as London, Paris, New York, etc (you get the idea). If there is a city you would like me to feature, please do not hesitate to email or leave a contact.
