JUNE
AN ART HISTORY OF BRITISH SURFING
SAT 28TH JUNE -SUN 7TH SEPTEMBER
Art and surfing have been linked for hundreds of years, and now a new exhibition looks at how both these elements combined over the past few centuries. From early sketches of surfers in the 18th century, to the fluorescent colours of the 1980s the exhibition is a visual feast.
A traveling exhibition from the Surfing Museum, Brighton
