Art in
MARGATE

Margate has become a thriving hub for the arts. Creatives were flocking here for cheap rents and the gorgeous lights years before its current boom. Fuelled by an exodus from the cities, Margate today is a haven for art, from high brow conceptual exhibitions to live drawing classes and community craft afternoons. Whether you’re in town for a big hitter show at the Turner Contemporary, attending Dame Tracey Emin’s art school or here to make it as a newcomer, Margate is heaving with talent and galleries, but you’ll also find community, a ‘have a go’ spirit and inclusive nature beyond the big names. Discover why Margate is the perfect canvas for whatever your artistic expression.
