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.

For our second Collective Books Book Club, this time hosted within The Reason for Flowers exhibition, we invite readers to bring a book of their choice to share with the group, that relates to flowers, gardening and the natural world.
Join The Gardening Drawing Club at Devonshire Collective, where artist Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck will take us through the basics of growing organic vegetables and herbs before we paint and draw impressions from these encounters.
Devonshire Collective is extremely grateful to the many companies and individuals who support the gallery, including Chalk Cliff Trust, The Duke of Devonshire’s Charitable Trust, John Jackson Charitable Trust, Roy Hudson Trust and Safer in Sussex Community Fund.
