art_house_life invites local, national and international guest artists to their annual art event for Ventnor Fringe, which usually takes place between the end of July and beginning of August each year.
​
We are accustomed to receiving up to 500 visitors​ to our annual art event, all of whom have the opportunity to talk directly to the exhibiting artists about their work.
​
To find out more, look at our Events section in this website. We also recommend checking out Ventnor Exchange our local Theatre, Craft Beer Bar, Records Store & Co-Working Space - they are open all year round and without whom there would be no Ventnor Fringe.
​
We look forward to meeting you!
