Let’s Talk Public Art -

A digital campfire

YOU are the public in Public Art!

We invite you to join us for a digital campfire to share thoughts and responses to what Public Art could and should be for Brighton & Hove over the next 10 years.

This online event consists of a panel table talk and Q&A session conducted via Zoom. Everyone will have the opportunity to be a part of the discussion that will help shape Brighton & Hove’s artistic future. You will have an opportunity to share your thoughts, ideas and discuss successful ways in which we collaborate with your community.

All your responses will be presented to Brighton & Hove Council in order to form and develop a ten year Public Art strategy which will be used by the council and developers in the city. The Public Art Strategy will help commissioners to understand the ways in which artists, planners, investors and others can work together.

Sign up to the event to join the conversation!

To help you to start thinking about what the best Public Art might be for you and your community, Lighthouse have produced a series of short films with people from across the city to explore different ideas and possibilities of what Public Art could be for Brighton & Hove. We'd love to hear your feedback or responses. Click here to watch films and for more information about the project. You can write to us at: tellusyourthoughts@lighthouse.org.uk

We want to involve as wide a range of people and groups in creating the values for the Strategy as possible. The aim is to set the direction of a shared vision for Public Art in the city and for all members of the community to be empowered to both participate in creating as well as experiencing it.

We also invite you to contribute any thoughts or ideas via a short survey. 5 lucky people will be selected at random to receive limited edition meal kits prepared especially by Lerato Foods & Naturals. Click here to complete the survey.

Once registered for the event you will receive a zoom invite by email from Eventbrite 15 minutes before the workshop start time.

If you have any accessibility needs to participate in the event, or run into any problems please contact info@lighthouse.org.uk
