Lewes Public Arts and the City of Lewes support bringing the community together around the arts. The committee organizes annual art-focused events for the public, including bus trips to sculpture gardens and museums as part of their education mission, artist talks, and various workshops for the community. Another part of their mission is to bring art to Lewes. The organization brings temporary and permanent art to Lewes in a thoughtful, curated way that sparks communication and conversation among townspeople and tourists alike. Their goal is to help make Lewes a destination for art.
