“We are open to both amateurs and professionals and our sizeable exhibitions showcase an exceptionally high standard and variety of artwork.

“Well-known local artist and teacher Marcus Finch is our president and Alison Woodward, a senior lecturer at Chichester University is our chairman.

"Our enthusiastic patron is Diana Levantine, chairman of the Sussex Snowdrop Trust.
