Almanac Exhibition
We bid farewell to 2024 by contemplating the passage of time, the sometimes mystical nature of a moment, and the various ways we recognize it. The exhibition showcases contemplative works by Alison Coaten, Annabel Munn, Carolyn Bew, Helen Phoenix, Jemma Gowland, Kate Richardson, and Phil Jolley.
The Sea
From gentle rolling waves to reflected fiery skies, KMA Gallery's September exhibition explores the depths of the sea with a collection of artworks that seek to represent its many intrigues. Featuring new collections from painters Sam Peacock and Jonathan Smith and ceramicist Paul Wearing.
Celebrating 10 Years at Market Street with Embellish Exhibition
From its humble start as a pop-up space, KMA will celebrate its journey with the opening of 'Embellish', which explores story-telling through art. Also on display will be artworks from artists who have been part of the gallery's journey since the beginning—featured works of Steve Fricker and Mélanie Bourget.
Hove Plinth comes to Kellie Miller Arts with the Flight of the Langoustine
We are honoured to be the partner gallery for the Hove Plinth's Flight of the Langoustine created by sculptor Pierre Diamantopoulo MRSS. The ambitious community art project is the brainchild of Hove Civic Society.
Glow
With our end of year show we celebrate the wondrous glow of winter; a season that evokes a sense of reflection and stillness. With a luminous collection of new work from artists Kate Richardson, Helen Phoenix, Annabel Munn and introducing Jack Durling and Tim Copsey.
Ancient Landscapes
Marked and shaped by our ancestors, our Autumn exhibition seeks to unearth the beauty beneath the surface, with a collection of artworks that explore our natural landscapes. Featuring new collections from artists Barbara Burns, Lesley McInally, Jules Allen, and welcoming raku ceramicist Stephen Murfitt.
Reclaimed
Expect an explosion of texture and colour as artists David Hayward, Sam Peacock, Mary Jones and Finlay Coupar demonstrate the beauty of reclaimed materials, giving them new life and form within their art. Our Summer show promises to inspire the imagination and celebrate the creative process.
The Imaginarium
The Imaginarium exhibition invites you to step into a space devoted to the creative imagination—a world most artists inhabit, where ideas are manifested, and magic happens.
Imprint
Our second exhibition of 2021 presents a lively conversation of original print from a selection of artists who approach print techniques uniquely through their work. My interest is in exploring the novel qualities of art printworks.
Materialise
An exhibition that celebrates and honours two artists who consider materials forefront to their practice. Works can be seen by painter, David Hayward, and ceramicist, Su Jameson, who explore their mediums in exciting and unique ways.
Feast
Kellie Miller Arts' end of year show will present a Caravaggio banquet of art on which to feast your eyes. We will dress the window like a fine Dutch still-life painting.
Sumptuous works featured artists, including ,,
Arcadia
Showcasing the imaginary idyllic paradise of Kate Richardson's paintings.
Kate Richardson is a rare artist who effortlessly flows between artistic genres. One can credit her success to her talent, work ethic and her ability to produce her artworks prolifically.
Ephemeral Landscapes
KMA invites you to the exhibition 'Ephemeral Landscapes'. This exhibition is a new approach for the gallery, embracing two artists connected through mind, creativity and theme. This pairing resonates with the gallery's ethos, and it is a joy to celebrate this partnership by curating this exhibition.
Small Wonders
This exhibition not only celebrates that good things come in small packages but marks the gallery’s 6th Birthday at Market Street. So, I hope you will be able to join us for this special occasion.
Urban Life
More than half the world's population live in cities, with the main attraction of these places being work. City life has reframed what we consider home.
London to Brighton
Brighton is located just 47 miles south of London and has always been an attraction to visitors. With the introduction of good transport links, particularly the railway in 1841,…
Selected Graduate Exhibition 2019
The awards are now in its 4th year and I am delighted to extend the opportunity to degree level students. The awards now operate on two platforms, pre-degree (A level/foundation/diploma) and graduates.
Objects of Desire in Porcelain
An exhibition featuring the work of six UK and international ceramicists who explore the possibilities of working with porcelain, a medium that I deem as to be the jewel material of clay.
Kellie Miller Open House and Sculpture Garden
Artist Kellie Miller invites you to a very special exhibition, as part of the Brighton Open House Festival, featuring the work of international artists who work in sculpture. For the very first time, the renowned artist will be opening her home and gardens, …
Out of the Dark Exhibition
There are many approaches to producing art. For sometime now, my works emerge from dark to light. I start working from a light background and then to a dark background and finally bringing light into the piece.
Cadence
The next and final exhibition for 2018 is entitled ‘Cadence’, a musical term which denotes a rhythmic or harmonic pattern, especially patterns in which something is experienced.
Storytelling
Every painting and artwork has a story. Sometimes the story is obvious but more often not so, because we are not always certain of the artists’ intentions behind their creations.
Dreaming in Colour
Most artists have an affinity with colour. As an artist myself, colour is extremely important to my world. I analyse colour as an accountant would do figures…
Form and Beauty
To create, I believe, requires a balance of concept, design and craft. The intention of the creator will define whether it will be classified as Art, Design or Craft.
Alchemy
Artists perform nothing short of alchemy in the production of their works. I worked exclusively with the medium of ceramics for over 15 years and I think this material has the ultimate magical qualities.
Beyond the Surface
My daily encounter with artists makes me ask why they use the materials they do to create their work. What makes them decide and settle on their subject matter?
Illumination Exhibition
Four women, four unique ways of creating and using light, reflecting and absorbing. Illumination Exhibition is about the interpretation of light in an artist’s work and the revealing of the creative process. Light is essential to all visual artists; and these four artists use it in very different ways.
Moment
Most artists capture a moment then tell a story by depicting that moment in their art. I have selected three artists who express these moments in totally different ways.
Transcendence
For this exciting exhibition I have invited three new artists to the gallery in May for the Brighton and Hove Arts Festival. There is a collection of Landscape paintings by Alice Sheppard Fidler, organic formed ceramic sculptures by ...
Rhythms, An Exhibition
Rhythms Is an exhibition exploring the theme of rhythms in three international artists' work. The curated artworks have a sense of timing and an energy of a beat. Each artist represents rhythm in different ways.
Winter Season Exhibition
Bringing nature into the city - we will be introducing a stunning collection of paintings and ceramics for our Winter Exhibition
