Brighton is buzzing with artistic excitement as The Adelaide Salon, in collaboration with Brighton Festival, unveils Act 0. This innovative exhibition transforms the Founders Room at Brighton Dome into a vibrant gallery space, marking a new era for contemporary art in the city.

Act 0 is not just an exhibition; it’s a celebration of artistic experimentation and interdisciplinary practices. By opening its doors to contemporary art, Brighton Dome and Festival are reinforcing their commitment to supporting visual art and fostering cultural exchange. This initiative is set to enrich Brighton’s visual arts programme, offering a platform for artists to explore and express their creativity in new and exciting ways.

Paulina Anzorge, co-founder of The Adelaide Salon, highlights the significance of this collaboration, emphasising the creation of the Founders Room as a space for artistic exploration. It’s a meaningful shift for Brighton, signalling a commitment to artists and the creative process. Lucy Davies, CEO of Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival, echoes this sentiment, expressing her excitement for the collaboration and its role in animating public spaces for both artists and audiences.

Act 0 poses intriguing questions about the relationship between artist and artwork, exploring the boundaries between life and form. Featuring works by artist couples Isobel Smith & The Baron Gilvan, and Lucy Newman & Bob Dixon, the exhibition delves into themes of proximity, shared environments, and artistic exchange. Each piece offers a unique yet interconnected response, inviting viewers to engage with art in a dynamic and thought-provoking way.

As the Brighton Festival 2026 approaches, we at Sawyer & Co are thrilled to see such vibrant cultural developments in our city. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or simply curious, don’t miss the chance to experience Act 0 at the Founders Room Gallery. It’s an exciting time for Brighton’s art scene, and we’re proud to be part of this creative community.
