Everyone in Lewes is invited to go along to a free community open day on Wednesday, April 17.

The idea is that they can explore street art with U CAN Spray - the UK's first street art charity, led by Lewes-based international artist Sarah Gillings. This event is delivered in partnership with arts charity Culture Shift.

The aim of this project is to transform the Phoenix Causeway Underpass (connecting Harveys Brewery to Tesco) into a striking public artwork, inspired by and for the local community.

The event will take place from 10 am to 4 pm on Wednesday, April 17 at: U CAN Spray HQ, Waterside Centre, North Street, Lewes BN7 2PE.
