Newhaven is preparing to host a new month-long festival of events, workshops, walks and community gatherings to accompany 12 specially commissioned artworks installed across the town.
Some of the biggest names in graphic art, illustration and street art will be creating murals for the Look Again Supergraphics Festival in June.
Artists include Anthony Burrill, Annie Frost Nicholson, Amber Elise, Supermundane, Eelus, See Creatures and Ellie Fryer.
Artworks have been designed to represent the community, local landscape and history of Newhaven, and the festival will see blank walls converted into spaces of colour and creativity with murals and supergraphics.
In preparation, organisers held a public meeting for residents to understand the kind of art they would like to be featured.
Alongside brightening up the town, the festival includes a programme of events for residents and visitors and free workshops for Newhaven’s primary schools and Seahaven Academy.
Look Again is funded by generous sponsors, charitable grants, investment from government and support from Lewes District Council.
