Welcome to South East Artists

SEAS (South East ArtistS) are a group of artists and craftmakers from Deal and surrounding areas. Our aim is to actively promote the visual arts and crafts in the local community. We began as a small group of artists in January 2005 and now we have a membership of around fifty members. Anyone is welcome to join us, whether they are a practising artist or just take an interest in the Arts.

Seas Open Studios 2009

Open Studios is being run concurrently with the Deal Music Festival and takes place over the first three weekends in July, during the Deal Festival of Music and Arts, a major local cultural event. Artists and craftmakers from, Deal, Eastry, Ringwould, Worth and Walmer invite the public into their studios to meet the artists, look at their work and talk about art. Most items will be for sale and commissions can be negotiated.

This year we have hired Ringwould Village Hall for the 2nd and 3rd weekends for those artists who, for a variety of reasons, can't open their studio.

The artists who organise Open Studios all operate in an unpaid and voluntary capacity. The guide book to accompany the event, listing the artists taking part, with easy to follow maps and directions, will be available from many local outlets including library, tourist information centres.
