In 2007 the Brighton Art Fair and the Brighton Craft Fair attracted over 5000 visitors to each event and have now built a reputation for showcasing a high quality and interesting selection of work with many visitors returning year on year to buy.

Organisers estimate that (the value of) overall sales by artists and makers has risen each year by about a quarter and the fairs are increasingly attracting customers prepared to pay higher prices for top quality work.

Worthing's must unusual night out returns on Friday 18th January. Eclectric Ballroom is part-cabaret, part-pop quiz, part 60s-style arts lab, and past events have seen everything from singer-songwriters to short film.

For the first event of 2008, the popular I Predict a Pop Quiz returns. The off-the-wall pub quiz, where a sense of humour is just as important as serious music knowledge is hosted by Pete Fijalkowski.

Actor Alfie Allen, younger brother of singer Lily Allen, stars alongside Simon Callow in the cast of the touring production of Equus which opens at Chichester Festival Theatre on Thursday 31 January.

Mark Wallinger is a deserving winner of the 2007 Turner Prize, having beaten Zarina Bhimji, Nathan Coley and Mike Nelson.

Most artists, faced with the scale of the war in Iraq, have turned away. Wallinger, faced with the same topic, turned to Brian Haw, who the artist has dubbed 'the last protestor'.

Wallinger completed a 40 metre long reconstruction of Haw's Parliament Square protest, including photographs, cartoons, toys, home-made banners and a Banksy original. The reconstruction cost �90,000, and was based on a series of digital images the artist took days before police destroyed the protest.

In the 21st century, 'craft' has many definitions. There's craft for the country crowd; welly boots, wax jackets and a passion for basketmaking, turned wood chairs and traditional trugs. It's all about tradition.

There's the renegade craft scene; a quirky take on knitting, oddball handmade books and badges, and retro and reclaimed textiles and fashion. It's lo-fi and leftfield.

Brighton Craft Fair aims for the 'Yummy Mummy' market, according to organiser Jon Tutton. So this year, it's jewellery, soft ceramics, and handbags all the way.

Worthing Seafront is undergoing a period of significant change - and a strategy for public art lies at the heart of these efforts. The strategy has been adopted after extensive lobbying by the Revolutionary Arts Group - and a landmark commission at Splash Point is welcomed by the group as the first step in the plans.

It's often controversial, and when it's not it's often met instead with complete indifference. It's usually expensive � and generally funded from the public purse. It's public art, it's coming to a town near you, and you probably don't have much say in how it's going to happen.

Thankfully, a younger generation of artists, architects and planners � aided by entrepreneurs - are pulling apart the older model of public art projects and raising standards as they do. Two new titles look at what seem like very different approaches to art in public spaces.

New Public Spaces features massive regeneration projects; civic squares, urban parks, community buildings and pedestrian precincts. Street Renegades, meanwhile, looks at the way that artists have been intervening in the urban environment.
