About The DOG SHOW

If you love dogs you will love this open house…

 

The DOG SHOW takes place every other year during Brighton Open Houses and the Brighton Festival in my Grade 2 listed central Brighton house, on weekends during May.  Now in its fifth year, we were runner up for Best Open House in 2015, 2018 and 2022. 

We show only dog art, over 200 pieces of the very best available.  Fifteen artists will be exhibiting, seven of the most popular from past shows and eight new artists.

 

The DOG SHOW is co-ordinated by Joanna Osborne. She and Sally Muir have made a career out their love of dogs. They are the co-authors of the best-selling Best In Show series of knitting books; Sally is an accomplished artist, mainly of dogs.

We will be serving teas, cakes by composer and cookery writer Orlando Gough, and homemade treats for all dogs.

Orlando will also be creating a dog soundscape.
