It has been a year since the UK and West Sussex welcomed Ukrainians who fled to the British shores to find safety and opportunities to build new lives. With the arrival of Ukrainian refugees came a wealth of creativity to the area which greatly enhances the local community.

A group of artists with differing styles, mediums and backgrounds will represent the best Ukraine has to offer with its rich and diverse cultural contribution to European culture over more than a thousand years of history.

Look out for workshops, talks and events that will be celebrating Ukrainian culture and creativity whilst the exhibition is on. A special Ukrainian Culture Day will be held at the museum on Saturday 25 November

The exhibition is organised with the help of the charity Worthing Ukrainian Friends’ Network.

Worthing Ukrainian Friends’ Network set up in April 2022 by local activist and philanthropist Mike Tyler with the help of local community leaders to help Ukrainian refugees settle and integrate into their new life in the UK. The organisation aims to support all Ukrainians around in and around Worthing.
