This is the fifth year such an exhibition has taken place, following the birth of the project in 2003.

The show, initiated by the prison's Education Department, is run in conjunction with Lewes District Council Cultural Services Department.

The work undertaken at Lewes Prison is valuable to prisoners, as it builds up their confidence and self-esteem; it often leads back into education and helps put them on the path to rehabilitation.

Thebes Gallery is situated in Church Twitten, off Lewes High Street, behind Lewes House. Its opening hours are Mondays to Saturdays 10.30am to 5pm (closed for lunch between 1.45-2.30pm) and Sundays from 12 noon to 5pm.
