The Ravilious Collection

A must-see for fans of Eric Ravilious and newcomers alike, this new and bespoke space features an expanded display of Ravilious’ works from the Towner Collection, showcasing the prodigious output of one of Eastbourne’s most celebrated artists.

The gallery space will also incorporate our Collection Library, which features books relating to Ravilious and other Collection artists. The library is free to anybody, and can be used as a quiet study space.

Watercolours, preparatory drawings, prints and ceramics by Ravilious all feature alongside works from some of his closest friends and peers, including his wife Tirzah Garwood and close friends Edward Bawden and Peggy Angus. These works all tie into Towner Collection themes of landscape, place and home.
