In 1907 Eric Gill, maverick genius of the Arts and Crafts movement, set up home in Ditchling's High Street. It was the start of an extraordinary adventure that helped shape the artistic character of the departed century. It certainly had a profound effect on Ditchling. 'Looking for Mr Gill' is a personal journey by resident film maker Luke Holland, a journey in search of Eric Gill's Ditchling legacy.

- SIMON SCHAMA'S POWER OF ART: PICASSO - EP 7 OF 8
Born in Malaga, Spain, Picasso's many styles and prolific work rate have marked him out as one of the most recognised artists of the twentieth century. Not limited to one medium he created sculptures, etchings and prints. His artistic career only began to boom once he moved to Paris in the early 1900s. His Blue Period, reflecting the colour and his mood at the time was followed by his Rose Period, work inspired by primitive art and then Cubism, which shocked the critics, but ultimately made his name.

- ARTSCAPE: BEN QUILTY AND THE MAGGOTS
Since winning the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship in 2002, Ben Quilty's rise as one of Australia's leading young contemporary artists, is nothing short of phenomenal. Today, at only 36, he has a retrospective survey of his work touring. Quilty's signature is paintings so thickly laden with luscious applications of paint that they literally ooze. Despite his success, it seems Quilty has never quite exorcised the hoon in him. His abstract interpretations of the booze-fuelled world of Australia's suburban bloke's culture have won him many fans.
