about<br />
Our bumper arts coverage,<br />
and new look, this month has<br />
been inspired by the return<br />
of Artwave. The open studios<br />
extravaganza boasts many<br />
exhibitions, but here we have<br />
selected some of our highlights,<br />
and we urge you to pick up<br />
a free guide in town and get<br />
stuck in to the rest. It is, after<br />
all, a rare opportunity to meet<br />
the many creatives living in<br />
<strong>Lewes</strong> District in their ‘natural<br />
habitats’, and studio spaces, we<br />
think, are often just as artful as<br />
the works created in them.<br />
from the<br />
artist’s studio<br />
St Anne’s Galleries<br />
St Anne’s smart High St<br />
premises couldn’t be much<br />
more different from your<br />
typical artist’s atelier, but<br />
they’ve still found a clever way<br />
of getting the open studio vibe.<br />
For one weekend only, this<br />
exhibition presents ‘new and<br />
favourite paintings, print and<br />
sculpture personally selected by<br />
all of its gallery artists.’ Many<br />
artists will be on hand to talk<br />
about their work, which sounds<br />
like a fine opportunity to<br />
meet some of our town’s most<br />
celebrated creatives. As well<br />
as the wonderful Jo Lamb, St<br />
Anne’s represent Julian Bell and<br />
Nick Bodimeade, whose lovely<br />
shed studio is pictured.<br />

Westgate Chapel<br />
The biggest name exhibiting<br />
during Artwave has to be<br />
the husband of Lee Miller<br />
and mid-century art star Sir<br />
Roland Penrose. Usually one<br />
has to make the trip to the<br />
couple’s former home at Farley<br />
Farm for a glimpse into their<br />
extraordinary life. For the festival<br />
however, a selection of Penrose’s<br />
photographs, curated by his<br />
son Antony Penrose, author of<br />
The Boy Who Bit Picassso, and<br />
Farleys Yard Trust Director Ian<br />
Chance, will be in the Hibbert<br />
Room. This exhibition of early<br />
photographs taken on Penrose’s<br />
travels are said to ‘metamorphose<br />
everyday appearances into<br />
startling dream-like images’.<br />
Aug 27-29th, 11– 5pm<br />
LOOK OUT FOR: <strong>Viva</strong> contributor Lyndsey Smith’s work at Chalk Gallery, and The Way We Work<br />
photographer Adam Chandler at The Hive throughout August. The Chalk Gallery also have three<br />
talented new artists in the co-op: a warm welcome to Frances Knight, Sue Collins and Paul Allen.<br />
