WONDER - 2023

 

Fitzroy House

Alison Grant generously opened her historic home, and Lewes’ first public library Fitzroy House to host Wonder, a multi media event, overlapping with the Windows of Wonder trail and featuring installation, music, sculpture and performance.

Artists who created window installations working individually or in pairs were invited to create an installation made up of A3 plywood boxes filled with wonder themes of their window
