At the end of the Kemp Town trail, Old School Studios is an exciting new space run by Artcore International — a charity dedicated to supporting the production, exhibition and experience of art in all its forms. The project provides affordable studio space for artists, hosts exhibitions, and supports teaching initiatives and community projects. Home to 50+ artists working across sculpture, painting, photography, print, textiles, ceramics, jewellery and more, visitors can explore working studios alongside a large group exhibition across the hall and outdoor spaces. Featuring pieces from members of Artcore &  Mutoid Waste Company, plus tacos & mezcal from La Cantina and a bar — with pop-up performances and workshops throughout the weekend. Stop by to eat, drink and take it all in. Keep an eye out for artist profiles and programme updates on our Instagram.

Two abstract, face-like figures in turquoise and sandy yellow lean together in a kiss, formed from bold, curved shapes in blue, pink, and ochre on textured paper.

A softly coloured, long-furred gibbon sits on a rocky outcrop, gazing over hazy, pastel mountains in a calm, dreamlike landscape.

A row of giant, teapot-shaped machines on spindly wheeled legs crosses the desert at Burning Man, linked by cables and led by a small, ramshackle vehicle under a vast blue sky.
