Eastbourne ALIVE is an ambitious and creative town-wide partnership project celebrating the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that the Turner Prize 2023 offers. Join us to reanimate underused spaces through public art and collaborative events, including a series of major artworks installed across Eastbourne which will explore the notion of a modern-day monument.
All Eastbourne ALIVE associated events are listed here:
