The Postcard Project, as part of The Little Arts Festival, closes at the end of this week.
Get your entry sent in! It’s a great way to have your work exhibited and be part of a fantastic community arts event!
Here are the details
I am part of a team of volunteers that thought it was a good idea last year to put on a 10 day art festival. August 19th-28th in, and around Rushlake Green.
We are excited to announce the programme! Printed copies coming soon.
Please check out the website for the full list
There is visual art, music, crafts, classes, performances, and lots more! All by local artists, all showcasing the creative talent in East Sussex.
What better to do this August than to come and join in?
The Little Arts Festival postcard project is now live through Facebook and The Arts Council jobs and news section.
Have you ever tried to create something from nothing? Well that is what myself and a small team of volunteers are attempting to do!
Please support us by participating in our project!

Whatever you think of the royal family, surely you have to appreciate that the events this past weekend were fantastic. Like many others I celebrated the Queens 90th birthday with my family and neighbours; In the rain, in a field, eating, playing games. Wherever you were the idea was the same – celebrate the Queen, have fun with our local community. I love being British!
I also curated a little exhibtion of old photographs and documents from the village.
