From Sickert to Gertler: Modern British Art from Boxted House celebrates the lives of Bobby and Natalie Bevan and the works that hung on the walls of their home, Boxted House, which became a gathering place for artists after World War II. Paintings by Bobby's parents and their friends, including Walter Sickert, Harold Gilman and Charles Ginner, hung beside works by Bobby and Natalie's own friends, such as Christopher Nevinson, John Armstrong and Frederick Gore. The house became a social centre for artists like John Nash, Cedric Morris and Lett Haines.

A Dark Day in Paradise by Clare Twomey 3,000 black ceramic butterflies descend on the sumptuous interiors of the Royal Pavilion. The butterflies cluster on the extravagant Banqueting Room table, across window panes, in roof lights, on mantelpieces and other surfaces throughout the ground floor rooms. Their sombre beauty is a reflection on the excesses and frivolity of the past life of the palace.
Clare Twomey is a British ceramicist/artist who works with clay in large-scale installations, sculpture and site-specific works. Over the past 10 years she has exhibited at Tate, Victoria & Albert Museum, Crafts Council, and the Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto, Japan. A museumaker commission, funded by the MLA and the Arts Council England

Plant Portraits An exhibition of paintings by botanical artists that convey a plant’s technical form and structure as well as its beauty in ways that a photograph cannot.  Botanical drawing has a legacy of historical importance going back to the time of ancient Egypt.  Successful illustrators must be technically highly competent in drawing and painting, with a good knowledge of botany and the ability to convey the sense of wonder of the plant world. The beautiful works of art in this exhibition are complemented by magnificently illustrated botanical books and specimens from the Booth Museum collections. Plant Portraits is presented by the Botanical Art Society of Sussex in conjunction with the Booth Museum of Natural History. Booth Museum of Natural History

Rachel Sage Self-taught musician, poet and producer Rachael Sage radiates what MOJO Magazine calls warm, intelligent... NY indie charm. An innovative, improvisational keyboardist, she performs over 150 dates a year with her band The Sequins throughout North America, Europe and Asia. In 2009, Sage made her debut at the world’s largest arts festival, Edinburgh Fringe, where she performed a week long run of her show Sequins & Shpiel to rave reviews. So successful were the shows that she has been invited back again this year to the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe Festival for a two-week run! Both the New York Daily News and Time Out recommended a subsequent sold-out revival of the show at New Yorks Joes Pub as a Top Pick. Sage, who has shared stages with Sarah McLachlan, Judy Collins, Marc Cohn, The Animals and Ani DiFranco, was named one of the Top 100 Independent Artists Of The Past 15 Years by Performing Songwriter magazine. A Grand Prize-Winner in the John Lennon Song writing Contest (Rock) as well as 2-time winner of both the OUTMusic and Independent Music Awards, Sage has earned a loyal following for her infectious melodies, poetic lyrics, and often-outrageous, colourful stage banter. Her new self-produced album, DELANCEY STREET, due for UK release in September 2010 contains a dozen tracks of what CMJ calls a resonant mixture of pop, folk and jazz; inspired by the urgency of the Green Movement as well as her Jewish immigrant heritage, it is Sages most revealing work to date. + Support TBC

The show that started it all has been selling out all over Europe these past few years, but Jake and Elwood Blues know that home is where the heart is...  Last time they were here, they smashed, crashed and crooned their way through sell-out shows in the UK – no one does it like these brothers and they’re back to show you just why they are the best...
Featuring original members from the west end run, the (all new!!!) 'Original' show brings you all those amazing favourite moments and songs with a few new twists, a few new moves and a clean, freshly laundered suit...The boys are joined by the sassy Bluettes, three amazing ladies with voices to knock you clean off your perch...  So don the sunglasses, dig out your best pork pie hat, and buff up those dancing shows, because the Blues Brothers cordially request your presence for a night of the best music, the best moves and the best comedy you’re likely to see this side of Chicago.  Just don’t tell the Police, OK...?! All your favourite songs are here – of course!!!  Everybody, Shake Ya Tail Feather, Sweet Home Chicago, Think, Respect, Gimme Some Loving, and loads, loads more!
