The museum team had the hard task of selecting artwork to be displayed from the range of pieces that arrived, aiming to show not only a representation of all mediums but also people’s wide-ranging variations on the theme.

The result is a diverse medley of creations, promising an interesting and thought-provoking display.

Billy Blanchard-Cooper, chair of Littlehampton Town Council’s community resources committee, said: “It’s great to have the OPEN back for 2022. It’s fascinating to see so many people’s different interpretations of Hope.”

Littlehampton Museum is at Manor House, Church Street, Littlehampton, and admission is free.
