Hide AdThird Thursdays are a monthly which aims to make Brighton city centre the place to be, with events, performances, film projections and new artwork commissions.
It has been organised by Brilliant Brighton (the city centre’s Business Improvement District, formed of 517 retail, leisure and hospitality businesses) and the ABCD Cultural Recovery Plan (a collaborative plan created by more than 100 creatives in the city) which together have secured £350,000 of funding for the cultural sector in the city.
The same partnership is also showcasing Brighton’s vibrant art scene with a colourful art trail with work by local artists encompassing walls, bus stops, lampposts and street furniture throughout Brighton.
The Enliven Brighton Art Trail, curated by Brighton local, Richard Wolfströme – an award-winning identity and wayfaring designer – features colourful artwork from a varied range of talented professional artists. The trail art will be in place for six months and will launch today.
