I have the impression that the exhibiting artists get more enjoyment from their work than the visitors.

Extraordinary building with an ideal set up for exhibitions. The Binnie sisters were in residence with their work displayed up stairs. The covid procedures were painless so I enjoyed my visit. A sophisticated modern museum rightly rewarded as a museum of the year.

Brief fleeting visit. Worth a quick visit. Okay for an activity on a rainy day. No direction for new visitors and not very welcoming at the desk.

My friend and I popped in and spent a good hour or so enjoying the various exhibitions. We both really enjoyed many of the Binnie Sisters pieces.
Staff were helpful and attentive.

Just managed to catch the penultimate day of this exhibition of early works by Alan Davie and David Hockney transferred from the Hepworth Wakefield. So used to seeing photographs of the late Alan Davie as an octogenarian grand old man with a beard it’s quite a shock to see a film of him as a thin twenty something enfant terrible stripped to the waist painting canvases on the ground then marking them ‘MUST BE DESTROYED’ in white paint. Slightly irritating that a young couple insisted on standing in front of and obstructing my view of early Hockney prints whilst watching the Davie video from afar rather than sitting on the seats provided. This barely marred my enjoyment of this exhibition of around fifty works suggesting how Hockney may have been influenced by his older Scottish forbear although to make a connection between a phallic reference in a Davie with to Hockney’s ‘We Two Boys Together Clinging’ seems to be stretching a point. Overall well worth the trip from
London to the Towner to see this alone. Just as well because apart from the ever-present delights of the Ravilious gallery and archive the first floor’s latest offering of works by three local female artists inspired by Towner works to prance around the countryside tooless or pretend their naked bodies are pots to be decorated with paint is a rather tawdry affair.

I visited the gallery on the last day of the Caroline Lucas exhibition, which I enjoyed seeing. The cafe on the top floor was open as the seating is outside, so fortunately it was a fine day.

I love the Towner. The building is a gem, staff are very friendly and helpful. Always something of interest - I loved the exhibition curated by Caroline Lucas, lots of things related to the stunning local landscape. Sat outside on the cafe terrace for delicious coffee, all felt very Covid safe. Thank you Towner.

The gallery had re-opened after Covid closure - access was easy, social distancing was being observed. The Ravilious gallery is the prime reason for going and was very interesting indeed although quite small. The temporary exhibition was early Hockney and one of his contemporaries and was worth it although this is not the Hockney I like and most people know. Again it was impeccably set out. There was, I believe, a roof level cafe but the one I used was at the terrace level at the rear and was very good indeed. It is not the best signed place - quite a long walk along the promenade to the martello tower and then inland. The sign was an AA one when I would have expected an Eastbourne tourist attraction sign.

Stunning wall. Better than the Berlin Wall

Brilliant little gallery.
We went specifically for the Davies and Hockney exhibition and although small, it was really well done.
Not enough to last a full day, but we spent a good couple of hours here including a delish coffee in the cafe, (good milk alternatives available!!)
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!
