 Eastbourne Alive is celebrating Turner Prize 2023 with a special programme of public art, dance, music and events.
‘I Don’t Have Another Land’ by the internationally renowned and Turner Prize-shortlisted artist Nathan Coley, has been installed on the side of Eastbourne Library. Coley creates these monumental sculptures using existing phrases that come from overheard conversations, song lyrics, news reports, books or any found text. The phrases used in Coley’s artwork take on new meaning in each place they’re exhibited.

 There’s something for everyone at your local library this Christmas!
You might think of your library as a calm, warm, relaxing environment packed with fascinating, educational, and inspiring books - and you'd be right - but there's so much more going on, and this Christmas is no exception. We have great events and activities taking place over the festive period. Enjoy a seasonal crafting session or settle down with your little ones to hear a Christmas story and rhyme time, there is plenty on offer.
Seaford and Rye have their Seasonal Festivals on the 2 December, and we are getting involved with wintery tales and Christmas Crafts.
