Seahaven Swim & Fitness Underpass
Ellie Fryer, who was born along the coast in Eastbourne has installed a beautiful and loosely narrative work in the last of our three Chapel Street locations.
We specifically chose Ellie for the way in which she weaves mythology and folklore through graphics which contain so many wonderful and intricate details.
Take time to discover these for yourself and be fascinated by its nautical, nocturnal other-worldliness.

Library Stairwell
Many Hands were the contracted installers for a few of our murals in the festival, working with artists to convey their vision.
As well as painting murals commercially, they are also practicing fine artists, and after they had worked on murals in the town, they offered to gift the town a mural as a thank you, and then one Wednesday afternoon this beautiful artwork appeared, celebrating the port and our connection with France!
Location: High St, Newhaven BN9 9PD
High Street
Clock Wall
A tricky wall to find an artwork for, but we just knew it would be a perfect gateway between our murals, so had to utilise it.
Artist Paul Farrell has recently been working on ultra minimalist hand gesture artworks, this one is a giant symbol for ‘Okay’, an internationally recognised symbol used by divers, which is a gentle nod to our marine history and industries!
Location: 30 High St, Newhaven BN9 9PD
St Luke’s Lane
Internationally-renowned artist Anthony Burrill is known for his deceptively simple and super positive artworks. Using type and graphic devices he has created artworks large and small across the globe, always bringing a zen like wisdom to the work.
This mural in St Luke’s Lane is a whopping 40 metres wide by 8 metres tall, and greets everyone who arrives in town by bus or on foot from the north of town.

Lower Place
Car Park
Hidden away behind the overgrowth at the foot of the Lower Place car park, is another easter egg, gifted to us by one of our main artists in the festival.

Lower Place Underpass
Brighton based artist Dan Walters, AKA See Creatures, was one of the first artists we approached. Within weeks of commissioning him, he had come back with designs for this all-encompassing and magical work that wraps the outside, the walls and ceiling of the underpass below North Way, leading to Lower Place.
This beautiful artwork references the flora and fauna you will find along the Ouse as it makes its way through the Downs and to the channel.
Location: Lower Pl, Newhaven BN9 9FA
Ship St. Cat Wall
The ‘cat wall’ in Newhaven was started by outsider artist Danny McEvoy, who transformed his garden wall into what has become a relatively secretive, though much-treasured, feline feature.
Look Again has augmented this existing piece of ‘folk art’ with an accompanying mural by artist Bec Dennison.
Bec has transformed the wall of Danny’s house into an ode to resident cat Stripes. To see is to believe.

The Jolly Boatman
Jack and Flo have been renovating the Jolly Boatman over the last few years, rescuing this well-loved community pub from auction and the risk of extinction!
The owners have been working closely with artist Dave Bain to create an artwork that celebrates many local heroes. The piece will wrap around the entire building and be a joyous figurative work comprising of stylised characters and bright colours.
Due to a minor delay with the development of the Jolly Boatman, this artwork will not begin installation until the middle of June. The pub itself is expected to be fully up and running this year.
Location: 133 Lewes Rd, Newhaven BN9 9SJ

Paris 68 Hoardings Installation
Paris 68 Redux are a duo who are spread between Brighton and London. Their work takes as its starting point the revolutionary artists from the Atelier Populaire and the work they made during the general strikes in Paris in May 1968.
They brought their incredible workshop to the the Hospitable Environment Soup and Social and to our Youth Collective, and took over a huge area in the town centre with a temporary paste up gallery.
