Here's hoping everyone's #BrightonPride weekend is as fabulous as Kiki LaHula's hula hooping!

What a beautiful day for a swim! @ Bailey Contemporary Arts instagram.com/p/BmItFz7hZfc/…

Today's New Years Tradition comes from Denmark. To smash plates against your friend's front doors on New Year's Eve brings good luck (and is a hilarious popularity competition; whoever has the biggest smashed plate pile wins!) These beautiful decoupage plates are by Peter Spence.

Today's fishy friday is interrupted because, for the New Year, Hungarians won't eat anything that swims, believing that it will cause good luck to swim away. This has made pork the dish of choice at this time of year, perhaps unfortunate for our Mara soapstone pigs! #soapstone

Today's tradition is brought to you by this rather handsome recycled metal cockerel. It's said that a cock's crow on New Year's morning wards away the evil of the year before, but watch out if he cries before dawn! #newyearssuperstitions #cockerel #sculpture #affordableart

One of the traditions we know best in the UK is the midnight kiss, illustrated with 'Tiptoe' one of our cast iron sculptures and a handmade ceramic clock by Iveta Goddard. #affordableart #brightonart #brightonartist #newyearstradition #ceramics #handmade

Happy New Year! We've a spring in our step this morning with this original oil on canvas piece by Jemma Day entitled 'Bounce' #brightonartist #affordableart #brightonart #oiloncanvas #abstract #colourpalette #contemporaryart

In many Eastern European countries, it is thought to bring good luck to swim in icy January waters. We'd rather observe the tradition in a warmer way with these cast iron swimmers and a 'West Pier' print by Kim Dobson. #affordableart #westpier #brightonartist #brightonart #giclee

We've had plenty of christmas cards this year and sold our fair share too! If you still have yours then why not recycle them? You could cut off the backs and use them as gift tags next year, or failing that pop them into an FSC collection box. #recycle #christmascards #fsc

Overindulged a little over the holidays? Embrace it in the style of Tina Tighe's wonderful Beach Belles. #bodypositive #beachbody #affordableart #brightonart #brightonartist #applique #winterbody

It's twelfth night tonight, so don't forget to take your decorations down! #twelfthnight #christmas #decorations #christmastree #brightonartgallery

It's Epiphany today, so we're marking the occassion with a wise man heirloom decoration. #threewisemen #epiphany #christmasdecoration #heirloom #bauble #celebration

These cast iron joggers could be the perfect little motivator for a 'get fit' New Year's Resolution. #castiron #castironsculpture #brightonartgallery #affordableart #newyearsresolution #jogging #getfit #workout #motivation

Fancy trying something new this year? Frederique Bailey will be offering taster sessions and workshops on the ancient art of pyrographing. Read more on our blog! #pyrography #brightonart #brightonartist #pyrographing #pokerwork #trysomethingnew

Another resolution themed piece, perhaps this little snowmonkey could spend a little less time glued to a screen... guilty? 'Appy Snowmonkey' by Jasmine Mercer. #affordableart #brightonartist #brightonartgallery #snowmonkey #illustration #monkey #brightonart #contemporaryart

A resolution we should perhaps all make, is to spend a little more time with our families. This cute cast iron piece 'The Bike Ride' is an affordable and artistic reminder. #affordableart #fatherandson #bike #bicycle #brightonart #brightonartgallery #castironsculpture #castiron

The month of January was named Wulfmonath (wolf month) by the Anglo Saxons. The bitter cold made it necessary for usually wary wolves, to enter villages in search of food. This altogether less menacing piece entitled 'Guardian Spirit' by Chris Greaves is still looking for a home!

One of the best resolutions we've heard this year is to make time for creativity. Why not treat yourself to a painting workshop with Peter Spence? #paintingworkshop #makeart #dosomethingdifferent #learntopaint #brightonartgallery #brightonartist #creativity #uniquegiftideas

Saint Hilary's Day is historically the coldest day of the year. We're accessorising with this sparkly snowflake necklace, beautiful crystals set in sterling silver. #treatyourself #sainthilary #sterlingsilver #snowflake #snow #winter #jewellery #giftsforher #necklace #silver

Tonight is the first New Moon of the year, a bizarre British custom is to look through silk at the moon, the number of moons you see is the number of years until you get married. Probably not much truth in it, but when our silk scarves are this pretty, why not? #weirdtraditions
