It's a truly independent space - a throwback to a Brighton that was less about a fat ego & a fast buck & more about ‘actually making art happen’ – whether it be on the stage or on the wall..we also work on a 20% commission as opposed to the standard 50%..so more money goes back to the artists..hence the 'fairtrade' gallery!...it's a sweet little venue - intimate, candelit & kinda gorgeous..x
Who I'd like to meet: artists, musicians, collectors, printers, photographers.. the people who really make it happen.....
If you’re interested then get in touch with us at the FairTrade gallery, 26 montague place, kemptown, brighton bn2 1je - 07990 511576.

Many thanks for the friendship! We would be honored if you read and comment the new artist interviews on our profile!
SEX AND CONSPIRACY! Swedish punkrocker and painter Karl Backman talks about his art, and the reactions to it from right wing christians, pee fetish girls and conspiracy theorists.
MYTHOLOGIES AND LIFE! French graphic designer and writer Laurent Rivelaygue discuss nightmares and a road movie in bumper cars.
GRACE AND ELEGANCE! American artist Betsy Jones talks about geometric landscapes, happiness and the arts of the geisha.
well, it has been a long and winding road, and an even longer time coming, but my debut CD, I Remember, is FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!!!!
to celebrate, American HeartBeat Records(tm) has arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of Now Is The Time in exchange for a valid email address. Now Is The Time is a brand new, upbeat song I wrote: we are living in turbulent times. suddenly it is okay to be greedy and heartless? no way! a song of hope for our future, a new vision of America and the world.
we have a bunch of exciting things planned to kick this whole thing off, and we need to get a better picture of who our friends are, so the FREE DOWNLOAD form will ask you a few questions, like, what is your country and nearest major city. it all takes maybe 15 seconds.
anyhoo, the FREE DOWNLOAD, and the FUN, begins at www.JAETCHISON.com
I look forward to getting to know you a little better, and I thank you SO VERY MUCH for your friendship and support!
please tell your friends about JAETCHISON.com, and ask them to sign up for the email list, too! FUN things are coming up!!
