An exhibition of stunning, sustainable art installations that light up on renewable energy on Worthing's East Beach.  The event is free and accessible to all.
 

Worthing Light Festival is run by the East Beach Artist Collective based at East Beach Studios.  We are a vibrant hub of over 25 artists, with years of experience, sharing resources, materials, skills and equipment. We reach out to all sectors of the community in a myriad of ways. As a not for profit artist organisation, we work collectively to promote our abilities as artists and craftspeople, organise events to contribute to the community and to enhance the cultural life of Worthing.

​

The event is temporairily on hold due to the relocation of its creator Jessica Gill, however, East Beach Artist Collective hope to continue in the future.

​
