Viva Lewes Issue 117 June 2016

ART
ARTISTS UNITED 2016 IS CALLING
FOR WORKS. Don’t forget to send your
submissions for this year’s community art
extravaganza in aid of Lewes FC to charlie@
lewesfc.com by 17th June. Send images of
up to two pieces, stating whether you’re an
emerging or established artist in the subject
line, with the title, medium and price of the
piece. Proceeds are split 55% to the artists
and 45% to Lewes FC. It will be the last year
for the show at its Foundry Gallery home so
you can’t afford to miss it. It’s the arts equivalent of the Albion’s last game at the Goldstone (sniff).
Just down the road

Ditchling Museum of
Art + Craft has had us
all enthralled with all
things typographic this
summer but perhaps
the pièce de résistance
takes place at the Village
Fair on the 18th
when The Big Steam
Print – which you might remember from our last
cover - trundles in to town. Prints surviving the
pummelling will be exhibited at Phoenix Gallery
in Brighton in August.
At Towner, due to popular demand, the exhibition
Recording Britain - the ambitious record of the
changing landscape of WW2 Britain - has been
extended until the 26th. People Places Propositions,
new and recent work by London-based photographer,
video and installation artist Melanie
Manchot, continues through the month. The
distinctive projects give an insight into her areas
of research and long-standing enquiries – from
portraiture to participation and performance, to
questions of individual and collective identities.
