About Artista Cafe and Gallery

Here is the story of Artista Cafe and Gallery in The Lanes, Brighton so far. It books indie and jazz acts. It has live music 1 night a week.

Artista Cafe and Gallery is a grassroots music venue in The Lanes, Brighton. It books Indie, Jazz; originals and covers are both welcome.

Listing notes

Artista ‌​‌​‍is a café-bar and art gallery in Brighton Square, in the heart of The Lanes - a small, independent event space where the walls are hung with work and the evenings are given over to performance. Music nights land on the third Thursday of each month with an indie-leaning bill, alongside a Jazz Jam, Comedy & Jazz nights and the Somewhat Open Mic. Most other nights of the week belong to comedy, plus poetry and cabaret. It's an intimate room, best suited to acoustic acts, small bands and songwriters trying out new material. The open mic is the easiest way in; for a gig slot, contact the venue directly.
