Exploring Senses is a non-profit community arts organisation based in Brighton, active since 2011.
We’re a group of artists focused on collaboration, creativity, and connecting with local communities. Through workshops, events, and exhibitions, we offer opportunities for people of all ages to explore new skills and ideas across art, crafts, and technology. We prioritise informal, hands-on learning and encourage sustainable practices, reusing materials whenever we can.
Our work spans across different creative fields, from art and music to fashion and subcultures, and we design tailored activities to meet the specific needs of our partners and clients. We also take on artist commissions.
If you're interested in learning more, collaborating, or joining the Exploring Senses team, we’d love to hear from you.
Our MakerLabs are based at BACA Secondary School in Falmer and at the East Brighton Trust in Westergate Business Park, Brighton.
Dream Reality - Youth Arts Film
“Dream World” is an engaging animation project by Exploring Senses artists (Dave Liteyear & Tamsin Allistone), created alongside Crawley youths aged 13–25 as part of Dreamy Place 2024. Over three free, accessible workshops at Crawley Library, participants used 3D pens and Procreate to explore sci‑fi, folk tales, AI, and more—culminating in a short Procreate Dreams film celebrating collective creativity and community.
