Every Step of the Way

The South Downs Way is a 100-mile-long distance walk over the spectacular and ancient South Downs, from Winchester to Eastbourne. This exhibition represents another chapter in the ongoing engagements with the landscape as 33 contemporary artists articulate the experience of walking the Way through the lens of their creative practices. 
 

The Downs are complex and multi-faceted with ever-changing views and close encounters with fauna and flora, as well as intriguing discoveries of unusual buildings or ruins and signs of historic and contemporary human activity. Responding to specific locations along the route, leading artists from across the region have been invited to create new works inspired by this dramatic landscape on our doorstep. 
 

The display brings together exceptional paintings and printmaking, sculpture, land art, textiles and more, from artists including Fiona McIntyre, Jon Edgar, Howard Phipps and Simon Hitchens.
