Every year on 22 April, World Earth Day reminds us that protecting the planet starts with people-powered action. In 2026, the focus is on civic mobilization, community innovation and the idea that real environmental change happens when local people come together to care for the places they love. Around the world, Earth Day continues to unite communities through education, restoration and creativity.
Here on the south coast, one inspiring way to celebrate is through the Tide & Place exhibition at WRAP. Supported by Sussex Bay, the exhibition brings together artists whose work reflects our connection to sea, landscape and the changing shoreline.
Sussex Bay is helping restore and reconnect nature along the Sussex coastline, championing healthier seas, thriving habitats and resilient coastal communities. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental action isn’t only global policy — it is also local stewardship, creativity and care.
This Earth Day, celebrate by supporting artists, visiting exhibitions, walking the shoreline, and reconnecting with the natural world around you. Because when art meets action, change becomes visible.
We are looking forward to seeing you at Tide and Place which is open on the weekend of 25th-26th of April and 2nd-3rd of May from 11 AM until 5 PM. No need to pre-book your visit. There is a programme of events to follow for June celecbrating this art community and our coastline - watch this space.
