Thank you to our sponsors

We are very grateful for the significant financial support of our Headline Sponsor Bowers & Wilkins, our Main Sponsors AudioActive and the HandBrew Co, and grant funding from Arts Council England. We would not be able to stage such a vibrant, ambitious and inclusive Festival without their help and commitment to the Worthing community. We look forward to developing the Festival and Fringe with them in the future, and to putting Worthing firmly on the UK cultural map.

Festival Artist: Michele Payne

Michele explores abstract-expressionism with an aim to create playful, intuitive paintings that are experiments with colour, pattern, form and mark-making.There are often symbolic shapes and details included in her work that speak of her memories, family or feelings or evoke imagined, wished-for landscapes. Predominantly using acrylic on canvas, wood or paper, she enjoys incorporating elements of embroidery and printing too.
