Fortunately, Newhaven was bursting with artists of great value. All it needed was an organised trail to show art lovers and collectors. The Newhaven Arts ethos also supported exhibition space for amateur enthusiasts. Collectively it made for a great day out and gave visitors the chance discover more about Newhaven, its history and beautiful seaside location.
Attendance exceeded all expectations and the work exhibited, with the likes of Harold Mockford and Victor Stuart Graham and his driftwood boats sold well and received critical acclaim.
Visitors also found that Newhaven is actually much closer to Brighton than they thought. It has a sandy beach and harbour and, if you look closely, a good choice of pubs and restaurants. Two of the best are both by the waterside where visitors can sit in the sunshine wave to the ferry as it sails past.
