Chamber Breakfast February

Phoenix Art Space is the beating heart of Brighton’s creative culture.

Now celebrating its 30th year, Phoenix supports more than 100 creative businesses through artists’ studios, workshops, exhibitions and community events.

At our February breakfast, Executive and Artistic Director Lucy Day will be talking about the charity’s creative heritage and how she’s building a bold, regenerative, community-driven future.

With a background as a curator and artist – she has a degree in sculpture - Lucy will also discuss her wider role as a creative leader in Brighton. She has delivered more than 30 exhibitions in partnership with public, private and third sector organisations.

So come along to learn more about Phoenix’s plans – it’s worth rising early for!

There is a wide range of people who attend from all sectors and all sizes. From sole traders and start-ups to some of the biggest businesses in the city.

• Make new connections through informal networking.
• Hear from a brilliant speaker, who'll talk us through their personal and business story, the highs, and the lows.
