Earlier this year I visited the Crypt Gallery here in Seaford and was delighted to see an exciting exhibition of sketchbooks by local people. This was the result of the 2024 SCIP (Sussex Contemporary Illustrators and Printmakers) Sketchbook Challenge. I decided that I’d like to take part in this year’s challenge.
To take part I need to raise at least £25 to have my sketchbook included in the show next March and need to do my best to fill the A5 sketchbook I was given. I feel ambitious and have decided to try and fill two sketchbooks, aiming to raise £50.
SCIP is a local charity based in the Crypt Gallery. They offer free art workshops and events for communities around Susasex – adults and children – often those who would not otherwise be able to access the arts. I’ve seen some amazing exhibitions – for example a rainforest room decorated with wondrous papercut animals and plants organised by SCIP for local school children as part of The Garden Show,.
If you’d like to sponsor me I’ve created a Local Giving Page. All money raised will go to providing free access to creativity and culture to children, young people and adults across Sussex.
