Just a few of our artists and work on show ...
Like Home – Documentary photography by Linda Scuizzato
Ongoing project documenting the real stories of Ukrainian people displaced and finding shelter in Lewes and nearby. Intimate and powerful images of their new place ‘like home’, never replacing what they leave behind.

Children’s book illustration by Emma West
Meet an illustrator, watch her at work and walk round the pages of one of her books to read the story of Florence and her Grandpa on their real life adventures in Sussex. Do you recognise the places?
