Community Walkabout following Ravilious

About

Join a community walkabout, following Ravilious in Newhaven. 

Hospitable Environment, a local community arts organisation, is inviting everyone to a free evening walk along the 'Following Ravilious' public art trail.  This will see giant billboards, popping up around Newhaven this summer, which celebrate Eric Ravilious's paintings of the town.

The walk will start at 6.30pm, Thursday 10 August at The Sidings, on Newhaven's Railway approach, and will take visitors around the four 'Following Ravilious' billboard locations, which feature works by Ravilious alongside responses to the modern Newhaven landscape by contemporary artists Jo Lamb, Charlie Prodger, Mark Titchner and Emily Allchurch.

The project highlights how Newhaven continues to inspire artists living and working today, nearly 100 years on from Ravilious' time.

After the walk, there will be snacks to share and the chance to enjoy a sociable game of petanque on the West Quay and to get a drink at the Hope Inn (a one-time haunt of Ravilious himself!)

No need to pre-book.

This event is one of many hosted by Hospitable Environment, that brings local people together through food and creativity to explore what it takes to build connected, resilient and sustainable communities.  See hospitable-environment.com for further details.
