Living Sea, Colonnade House Worthing

From 21–25 October 2025, Colonnade House in Worthing will host an art exhibition that celebrates the start of the Sussex Bay project. Sussex Bay is a cross-sector initiative aiming to restore and protect the coastal and marine environments from Chichester Harbour to Camber Sands, and to connect the communities that depend on them.

Showcasing a small group of contemporary artists working along the Sussex coast the exhibition explores what a “living sea” means … culturally / environmentally / socially: approach this through a spirit of radical optimism, of embracing hope as a radical and political act in the face of the climate emergency.

Artists included:

Laura Callaghan

Lila Wordsworth

Nina Garstang

Emma Chow

Andy Ash

Kate McMinnies

Simon Roberts
