Since 2018 we’ve provided art workshops, mostly for people disadvantaged through circumstance and who would not normally have access to Art education . We have also worked with Sussex Community Development Association to deliver free visual art events for School Holiday Activity Fund schemes. Some of these workshops were to help people take part in the Newhaven Open Call exhibitions.
