This year’s Headline Sponsor of the Artists Open Houses is ARCH-angels Architects, and we are delighted to have them as part of the Kemptown Trail.

ARCH-angels Architects are an award-winning architectural practice based in Brighton, committed to creating cost-effective, sustainable and green buildings. The ARCH-angels Art House will be displaying the work of five architects and hosting an interactive art installation called “Don’t Stand Behind the Line” open every weekend from 12pm-3pm. Visitors can become involved in the transformation of a space in a physical way: Richard Zinzan invites visitors to step over the “Stand Behind the Line” tape and explore and engage with the design of a space with the use of colourful tape. (Refreshments will be available with proceeds going to the Sussex Night Stop Charity, helping support young homeless people to get off the streets.)

The ARCH-angels Art House will also be running a Kids competition covering all of the AOH trails throughout May to get them motivated to travel the trails. They are invited to bring their ideas together and create their Dream Home in any medium they want. Look out for the Sponsors Suggestion key on each trail. There will be prizes awarded to the winners and runners-up in two age categories.
