An arts project at Brightlingsea Lido features in a new video promoting Essex County Council’s Arts and Cultural Fund.
The Ebb and Flow project had money from the fund and saw ten artworks – created in workshops by Brightlingsea residents under the auspices of the Lido’s artists in residence, Chrissie Richards and Becky Jackson- and placed around the pool perimeter. The fund has also supported Brightlingsea’s Fresh Air Festival.
