Busy arts month at Worthing’s Colonnade House

Spokeswoman Paula Tollett said: “This February we have a month of wonderful artists and creative charities taking over Colonnade House. We have the Ukrainian Artist Group with their exhibition Ukrainian Renaissance. Unbowed. The Ukrainian refugees’ dozen will present their culture with handmade works inspired by the unbowed spirit they have despite the tragic obstacles they live through. We have the wonderful Superstar Arts bringing their creativity back to Colonnade House with their exhibition, Portraits, Prints and More where they will be bringing their screen prints and portraits to the gallery this month.”
