Adur Art Trail Notice - We're Venue 10 !
The workshops themselves have now ended but many items will be on display at The Lost and Found Museum exhibit, part of the Adur Art Trail 2026, at the Scrap Space, Open Weekends 6th - 21st June,
Please do explore the website. Most pages have galleries showcasing some of the pieces made by workshop participants, created using donations found in the scrap store.
This is not a traditional museum. Exhibits here have been created from donations to the scrap store. Information is usually presented to you as fact: here it is open to interpretation. You are encouraged to create your own stories to go alongside the exhibits.
Most museums are about events and places from history which have been recorded and archived. Instead, this exhibition responds to the present. It's relevance comes from the conversation between observer and exhibit, from your own stories.
Creativity is about discovering a new idea, a new place, a new process. This is how the things here have been made and we hope you find some creative inspiration from our 'museum'.
