The Project
Community groups, supported by local amateur and professional artists, will be creating art that will be presented on boards attached to 40 beach huts. The artwork will be installed in spring 2026, and remain in place until 2030.
The aim of the 'Pictures by the Prom' project is to improve the park users' experience and engagement, and strengthen community cohesion.
