Artwave 2016
ARTWAVE 2016 20 August - 4 September ● www.artwavefestival.org RTWAVE continues to grow and expand across our beautiful district and surroundings every year, and with 123 different venues to visit, and almost 400 artists taking part, 2016 is no exception. The Artwave team are delighted to welcome back past artists Aand makers as well as introduce many new ones to the festival this year. Come and find some amazing, wonderful and unique work on show in a variety of venues, including a caravan, open studios and galleries; private homes, garages, cafes and gardens. Our popular trails are back again, and this year, include the Haven Trail in Peacehaven and Newhaven, three different Rural Trails and our town ones in Seaford and Lewes. For a preview of work, a selection of venues in Lewes are opening their doors on Friday 19 August between 6pm and 8pm for a private view. (p 12) There’s a great array of workshops and events happening too (p31), including alfresco life drawing, arts psychotherapy taster sessions, children’s scavenger hunts, book making, stone carving and even creating your own art masterpiece on a piece of cake. I’m delighted to support Artwave Festival, as it gives our local artists a great opportunity to showcase their talent, creativity and skills, and I plan to visit as many of them as I can. I’m also pleased to support two specific events, Artwave’s own Surrealist Art Café, raising money for Cancer Research, and the Artwave Favourite Artist Award, as voted by you. Be sure to place your vote as you might get to see their work on next year’s brochure (see p30).
