The Sites
This page is a guide to the Look Again art locations, once new sites are completed each location will be updated with pictures of the actual artwork.
The Sidings
Discover the first mural just a few short steps away from Newhaven Town train station, within The Sidings.
This wonderful venue is the Look Again HQ throughout June and plays host to Abyss Brewing, with amazing pop-up food vendors and events scheduled throughout the month.
What artwork will you find here? A homely, typographic labyrinth painted by the brilliant Gary Stranger within the community courtyard.
Marine Workshops Ground Floor Exhibition
Next door to the Sidings, you will find Marine Workshops (former University Technical College) hosting our dual festival exhibition in the ground floor atrium.
The exhibition is part festival-artist led; find out about and see more of their work alongside other local artists.
The exhibition will also present the culmination of Hospitable Environment’s outreach projects for the festival through their ‘Soup and Social’ events and Look Again Youth Collective.
Not to be missed.
Chapel St
Underpass
Rob Lowe AKA Supermundane spent a few days looking around the town, visiting the Museum and Historical Society, and speaking with the Look Again team.
The result – a truly transformative, tiled artwork which celebrates the port, industry, and geography of the town.
Seahaven Swim & Fitness
Fresh from his recently completed 5-storey mural in the Lanes, Brighton, Lee Eelus has created a bold and colourful design to greet all who use and work at Seahaven Swim and Fitness.
Eelus’ work expresses the movement and joy of life by the sea, with a splash of his trademark surrealism.
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.
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.
The duo brought their incredible workshop to the recent Hospitable Environment Soup and Social and to our Youth Collective, and they will be taking over a huge area on the town centre hoardings for an installation of their eye-popping work.
Look Again Hoardings Gallery
Complementing the Paris 68 Redux installation will be a huge gallery of 600 paste up posters, consisting of work from our mural artists, local artists, students from local colleges and from a regional open call.
These works will be interrupted by graphic shapes and elements from our branding, and will be a colourful celebration of Sussex creativity!
Newhaven Square: Portside Vets
Sussex-based typographic artist Naomi Edmondson, AKA Survival Techniques, will be creating a bright and bold typographic artwork, greeting visitors with positive vibes as they follow our trail across the town.
Marshall Lane Billboard
London-based, multi-disciplinary artist Annie Frost Nicholson creates works that tackle taboos, grief, loss, and joy. All executed with radical empathy at their core.
Annie worked with Seahaven Academy on their ‘Words Have Power’ project at the end of last year, which has informed her paste up contribution.
She has also designed the billboard for Marshall Lane. Please dance responsibly!
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!
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 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.
Elphick Road Billboard
As a little extra on top of his commissioned work, Anthony Burrill has designed a special billboard for the end of the terraced houses on Elphick Road. This work of art will greet travellers on the one-way system over the entirety of June.
Sussex Community Development Association has kindly sponsored the billboard to cover other installation costs.
Ship St. Cat Wall
The ‘cat wall’ in Newhaven was started by outsider artist Danny McEvoy, who lives on Elphick Road. Danny 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.
We are very excited to share this one!
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.
