Community With Creativity Since 1993

Artwave is the annual festival of artists and makers in the Lewes District. Every year hundreds of creatives exhibit in Lewes, Seaford, Newhaven and the surrounding villages.

The event gives art lovers the chance to discover new work, meet artists and makers, and buy directly from them. In 2024, an estimated 53,000+ people visited Artwave over the three weeks of the festival. Follow the trails and enjoy the diverse range of work on show including jewellery, painting, sculpture, printmaking, textiles, ceramics, metalwork and photography.
