Rustington’s trailblazing arts success

It was organised by Lyn Leese and Deidre Carolin of the Rustington Community Partnership and involved people of all ages and from all walks of life.

Cafés displayed the work of local artists, and schoolchildren designed a crazy garden using recycled toys, boots and umbrellas. A diamond jubilee rug made by Georgian Gardens Primary School pupils was on display at Rustington Museum and there was an art exhibition by Angmering School sixth-formers.

Other events included an arts and crafts show by Arun University of the Third Age, a Crown Jewels art exhibition held by the St Bridget’s Leonard Cheshire Disability home, free craft workshops, and a successful community arts shop.
