This public realm commission will be displayed year round for our local community and visitors to Bexhill, we are excited to hand over this space to an emerging artist from or living in East Sussex. 

Flatland Projects team will support you to develop and realise your ideas as a print ready design. This design will then be fabricated into a banner and installed on the gallery exterior.
