She can only represent so many artists &#8211; and for years, that constraint sat with her. So instead of accepting it, she threw the doors open. What began as a pop-up gallery in Brighton&#8217;s Lanes has grown into a distinctive cultural space, and this year Kellie did something she&#8217;d long dreamed of: invited 59 artists and 85 works in, and let the artistic talent of Sussex speak for itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kellie is pragmatic, generous, and believes that art belongs in everyone&#8217;s life. This same instinct that drives her monthly column championing female artists, her KMA Awards supporting young creatives, and the daily rhythm of a business she runs from strategy to staffing, all while maintaining her own practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kellie shares with us what it really takes to run a gallery where no two days look the same, why arts education is one of the most quietly urgent issues of our time, and what it means to treat a gallery space as a canvas in its own right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"secret-coast-prize\" class=\"wp-block-group has-base-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6f3bf868 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong><strong>Visit The Kellie Miller Arts Open Call Exhibition<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The exhibition brings together artists&#8217; works in the South East, set to the backdrop of an important historic space to the Sussex community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">14th February &#8211; 30th March 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kelliemillerarts.com\/events\/open-call-2026\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn More About The Exhibition<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67801 lazyload\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/Kellie-Miller-Portrait-2-scaled.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/Kellie-Miller-Portrait-2-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/Kellie-Miller-Portrait-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/Kellie-Miller-Portrait-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/Kellie-Miller-Portrait-2-1365x2048.jpg 1365w\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kellie Miller, founder of Kellie Miller Arts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"About-Kellie\" class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>From the Kiln to the Gallery Floor<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been an artist for over 30 years, having studied at Camberwell, then Brighton University focusing on mixed media. Initially I focused on ceramics and then moved on to painting. My work is collected across the world and I have traveled extensively to research and share my art.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2013 I embarked on a pop-up gallery project in the Brighton Lanes, seeking to share my art and the art of other artists I knew with the community. By the end of this run, I felt this was something I was good at and so I could contribute something special with this space. Kellie Miller Arts Gallery was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then we have moved to a larger premises in the North Laine of Brighton, in the cultural quarter alongside the Brighton Dome, Pavilion and Theatre Royal. This new space has afforded us greater opportunities, and it has always been a dream of mine to host an Open Call exhibition which would allow me to share this historic space with the wider artistic community of Sussex. Additionally, I can only represent so many artists, so this opportunity allows me to work with and expose my audience to a wider variety of pieces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"Kellie's-Role\" class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What It Takes To Run a Gallery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I am the Owner and Director of the gallery. I oversee the entire operation, from strategy, accounts, marketing, artwork, staffing and more. As an entrepreneur and business owner it falls on you to ensure the whole business runs smoothly, so I am in constant communication with my team to make sure nothing is missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am also responsible for selecting and curating all of the artwork you see in the gallery from our artists, ensuring it is of the highest quality for our audience, and also works they would be interested in seeing from us. This also involves some research as we like to keep things fresh and are always on the lookout for new artists to fit into our programme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67807 lazyload\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/KMA-Open-Call-2026-Window-1-Gill-Bustamante-Vlad-Cohen-scaled.jpeg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/KMA-Open-Call-2026-Window-1-Gill-Bustamante-Vlad-Cohen-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/KMA-Open-Call-2026-Window-1-Gill-Bustamante-Vlad-Cohen-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/KMA-Open-Call-2026-Window-1-Gill-Bustamante-Vlad-Cohen-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/KMA-Open-Call-2026-Window-1-Gill-Bustamante-Vlad-Cohen-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Window Display at KMA featuring works by Gill Bustamante and Vlad Cohen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Meditation First, Everything Else Second<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a big believer in starting my day gently with meditation, as I feel this provides the focus and clarity I need to tackle a busy and varied day. If I can, I also like to incorporate some gentle movement. My husband and I have recently been learning QiGong on YouTube which we are really enjoying. I will also admit to switching off by watching different TV series on Netflix and YouTube, and I love watching Question Time or debates, to hear other people&#8217;s perspectives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Paying Artists is The Backbone of Why We Exist<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My days will vary quite a lot. As a business owner, my job is multi-faceted so no two days look alike. The most important thing is to have regular check-ins with my team, who I trust to take care of the gallery on the ground. Following that I am checking in on our artists, making sure they are doing well and their creative practices are flourishing. I am also responsible for paying them when there has been a sale, which brings me a lot of joy to do. It is the backbone of why we exist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I write a monthly column about female artists for Dynamic Women\u2019s Business Magazine, and also write our biweekly newsletters to our audience. Beyond that I am always networking, looking for new opportunities for the business to develop and grow. And somewhere in there I fit in my own artistic practice as well!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67805 lazyload\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/KMA-Open-Call-2026-39-scaled.jpeg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/KMA-Open-Call-2026-39-scaled.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/KMA-Open-Call-2026-39-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/KMA-Open-Call-2026-39-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/KMA-Open-Call-2026-39-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">KMA Open Exhibition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"Kellie's-Beliefs\" class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>We Should All Have Art In Our Lives<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe strongly in the power of creativity, which is why I have always championed young people and creative practice, either through my KMA Awards or through community advocacy.

As Kellie can only directly represent a limited number of artists, the Open Exhibition allows the gallery to work with and expose audiences to a broader variety of work and voices, championing the belief that art should be approachable, beautiful, and present in everyday life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>How did Kellie Miller Arts manage their Open Exhibition submissions?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Kellie Miller Arts used Zealous to manage submissions for the Open Exhibition.
