So, what do we think of this?
A striking new piece of public art is coming to Eastbourne seafront. It looks fab.
Commissioned by Towner Eastbourne and funded through the UK Government's Levelling Up programme, acclaimed artist Rana Begum will create a vibrant new installation in Victoria Place, at the junction of Grand Parade.
The artwork will feature eight panels of toughened, coloured glass arranged in a striking zigzag formation. As natural light changes throughout the day, the installation will create beautiful geometric reflections and ever-changing shadows, bringing colour, light and movement to this prominent seafront location.
The artwork has received planning approval and has been carefully designed to ensure emergency vehicle access is maintained. Once installed, Towner Eastbourne will maintain the piece.
Installation is expected to be completed by 18 December 2026.
