Colourful murals will appear on walls across a town this month.
An event called June Look Again will transform blank walls and neglected streets across Newhaven into vibrant spaces of colour and creativity.
These specially commissioned murals will aim to reflect the community, landscape, nature, and history of the town.

Artists commissioned to create these murals include Amber Elise, Annie Frost Nicholson, Anthony Burrill, Bec Dennison AKA Bullet on a String, Dave Bain, Lee Eelus, Ellie Fryer, Gary Stranger, Paris 68 Redux, Paul Farrell, See Creatures and Survival Techniques.
As well as the murals, a schedule of events, workshops, walks, and community gatherings will take place.
More information about the event can be found at https://www.lookagainnewhaven.co.uk/.
There will also be a colourful series of ‘paste-up’ artworks created by local, regional and national artists.
This is when modern printing techniques are used in order to quickly apply original art pieces and works onto flat surfaces.
Co-organiser Anthony Peters said: “Look Again Newhaven is a project employing optimistic and colourful murals, and paste-up installations, intended to bring joy and inspiration to the town’s residents, and to encourage new visitors to come along and enjoy an industrial town they may have previously overlooked. “
