The **Brighton Box**, one of Brighton’s leading art galleries located in **Duke’s Lane**, will be hosting a rare ‘meet the artist’ event in aid of the **Sussex Beacon** at **Affinity Bar** in Kemptown on **Thursday, September 23** from **6pm**.

Renowned artist **Sid Spencer** (or **Fat Pigeon Ar**t, as many know him) will be chatting with an adoring crowd and showing some of his work, ahead of a cabaret show by drag performer **Lovinia Belle**. During the evening, Sid will present a cheque worth hundreds of pounds to **Bill Puddicombe**, executive director of the Sussex Beacon, with part proceeds of every artwork sold by four different artists being donated to the charity.

**Bill Puddicombe** said: *“We are enormously grateful to The Brighton Box and its feature artists, for generously donating a portion of their artwork sales to the Sussex Beacon.*

*“These funds will assist with our essential work with people living with HIV. We very much look forward to a successful Meet The Artist evening, and exciting events in the future.”*
