Art lovers can meet and buy direct from hundreds of artists and makers in their homes, workshops, at exhibitions in ancient churches, disused
mills, and in farms and gardens across the district.
The festival continues to grow year on year, and the organisers are delighted that hundreds of young creatives are participating once again.
Here are just a few of the artists exhibiting.
Artwave runs until 20 September 2026. Pick up a printed guide from Lewes, Newhaven or Seaford Tourist Information Centres, from Charleston in Lewes, or visit artwavefestival.org. Instagram.com/artwavefestival
