Devonshire Collective (DC) is a cultural and community organisation operating across a network of ex-retail sites in the Devonshire West ward, Eastbourne – a vibrant area with a long-standing community.

At our gallery, VOLT, we commission significant solo exhibitions by artists living in East Sussex and nationally. Our upcoming programme is connected by a vision that centres artistic practice and focuses on co-creation and socially engaged research methods.

DC Learn is our learning and engagement programme for families, young people and our communities in Devonshire West ward.

Our galleries and programmes are free, and open to all.
