Mary Poppins illustrated by Karl James Mountford
In celebration of World Book Day on the 1st of March, Seaford
Contemporary Illustrators & Printmakers present The Book
Show, an exhibition of illustration and printmaking inspired by
children’s literature. This five-day show is at Arts@theCrypt
in Church Road, Seaford from the 28th of February until
the 4th of March and features work by upwards of 20
professional artists including award-winning author/
illustrator Benji Davies, Karl James Mountford, Lesley
Barnes, Graham Carter, Helen Musselwhite,
John Bond and Bjorn Rune Lie. For the duration
of the exhibition, the medieval Undercroft will be
transformed into a reading room, filled with hundreds
of books for families to enjoy, with readings by
local authors and creative workshops for
kids. Visit wearescip.co.uk to find

Bambi Goodman
On a Night Like This is at the Studio Gallery in
Worthing Museum & Art Gallery from the
10th. Father and daughter Gary and Bambi
Goodman exhibit paintings, printmaking and
poetry inspired by a trip to Japan. Expect hanging
scrolls with ink drawings of animals and girls, a
cardboard sculpture menagerie and large-scale
figurative paintings. The themes are, Bambi
explains, ‘possibly eerie with a hint of sexy’.
