FOREWORD

Steyning Arts is a co-operative of local artists and was launched in May 2011 with our first Art Trail and Events programme. We aim to be as inclusive as possible while ensuring high standards of creative work across a broad range of disciplines including painting, sculpture, ceramics, jewellery, craft work and photography. An objective of Steyning Arts is to make the arts accessible to the general public and exhibitions are often supported with demonstrations, workshops, music and performance. Details of previous shows can still be viewed on this website and include a short video of events that have taken place.
