"The windows have been boarded up and teams are now working hard to clean up and make repairs so the galleries can reopen as soon as possible."

A Shoreham-based artist expressed her sadness after her exhibition at the gallery had to be cut short due to the incident.

‘Him & Me’ - an exhibition by Lucia Babjakova and her 10-year-old son Cassius - was expected to see a busy weekend before it closed on Sunday.
