EVERY SORT OF PEOPLE Can
partnership + street art = community
Every Sort of people can brings the inclusive spirit of our Every Sort of People events, with a special focus on using street art to transform public spaces and boost individual and community wellbeing.
Every Sort of People Can 2025
In collaboration with U CAN Spray - the UK’s first street art charity - and its creative team, led by Lewes-based international artist Sarah Gillings, this project aims to transform the Phoenix Causeway Underpass in Lewes into a striking public artwork, inspired by and for the community.
Culture Shift hosted a public consultation event to gather ideas for the public artwork from local residents, prior to the recruitment of community volunteers to join the painting crew to be involved in painting the mural in June 2025.
Being part of the painting crew is FREE and will involve taking part in 2 training workshops in May, learning new skills and being part of a team creating a new artwork for Lewes (in shifts over a week in June).

Wanting the event to be affordable and accessible for everyone, admission and all activities were free including free food made by the Lewes based Community Chef and a low cost pop up tuck shop.
A total of 14 local businesses and community organisations contributed to the event with 350 individuals attending.
"I loved everything! The people, the music, the atmosphere. The kids loved the activities, the cafe was so reasonable which is a big help during the summer holidays. We loved it!" [Attendee]
