gallery and craft  fair: sculptors; painters; fine art
printmakers; jewellers  of all kinds; and makers in
ceramics, textiles, wood  and glass all under one roof .
During the show many new affiliates join the long list of
highly regarded members. There will be forty members
work on display so there is plenty for you to enjoy
seeing and tempt you to make a purchase.

Founder Phil Duncan has been long associated with Artwave, first
exhibiting back in 1996 at his own artist’s open house and at the
Westgate Chapel in Lewes. It was at his artist’s open house that he
later he introduced the Sussex Arts Collective as a group in 2006.
Sussex Arts Collective members are delighted to be connected with
the Artwave Festival and are very proud of winning Best Venue twice.
