Fair Ground 2026 Contemporary Art

What draws you to an exhibition that combines the work of contemporary artists with that of a designer from a bygone era? The answer lies in the eclectic mix of styles and mediums on display at Fair Ground 2026, Glyndebourne's annual exhibition of contemporary art in Sussex.

Who are the artists behind this showcase of local talent? This year's exhibition features 20 artists, including Katherine Allen, Julie Annis, Orlanda Broom, Rob Lyon, and Roman McCullough, each bringing their distinct practice to the table.

What can visitors expect to see and experience at Fair Ground 2026? The exhibition presents a range of artworks, including paintings, etchings, drawings, and ceramics, all of which are available to view and purchase, with enquiries and sales going to art@glyndebourne.com.

How does Fair Ground 2026 fit into the broader context of Glyndebourne's exhibitions programme? As part of Glyndebourne's Autumn Season of opera and concerts, Fair Ground 2026 is now in its seventh year, having grown from an online initiative in 2020 to support artists during the COVID-19 pandemic into a physical and digital showcase celebrating the talent of Sussex artists.
