Together in Eastbourne: Brightening a Blank Canvas
May 20th, 2021
‘We are delighted with the newly installed artwork on the boards outside TJ Hughes. After COVID, could there be any stronger message than Eastbourne ‘Together’? Our thanks to our fantastic partners, VOLT, Eastbourne Towner, Eastbourne Borough Council, Rachel Charitable Trust, and Brewers for their support and to all our members for making this happen.’
Former TJ Hughes building in Eastbourne provided the perfect
canvas to create a piece of artwork encapsulating one message of the past year,
the importance of working, living and socialising ‘together’. We have had to
stay apart from our family and friends, and most of us have relied on others to
keep our spirits up during what has been a very difficult time. We can
certainly relate to the hope that we can all be ‘together’ again very soon.
Your Eastbourne BID worked with VOLT Gallery, who
commissioned artist Will Mower to create a piece of artwork along the remaining
hoarding outside the former TJ Hughes building. Your Eastbourne BID worked with
VOLT’s Adam Spain to support the installation outside the site, on the corner
of Terminus Road and Seaside Road, brightening up the area further and
reminding passers-by that we are all in this together.
On Tuesday, 18th May, Ricochet installed the final
images to the hoarding and a new piece of Eastbourne’s Urban Art was complete.
