SEAS (Socially Engaged Art Salon) is an award winning artists’ led organization that promotes socially engaged art practices and artists from underrepresented sectors and works with marginalized communities through exhibitions, workshops, and cultural events. It also offers an artists’ support programme and residencies. 
SEAS’ programme takes place at Black and Minorities Ethnic Community Partnership (BMECP) Centre, The Ledward Centre (TLC) the up-and-coming Brighton’s LTBTQAI+ centre, and at the Jubilee Library.  SEAS is the South East hub of the Social Art Network (SAN), and we often collaborate with invited curators, art institutes, charities and community organisations.
