The ‘Paint The Town Proud’ heritage initiative is providing a cross-generational and extensive programme of visual artwork and impactful multimedia that combines creative technologies such as digital design and photography alongside community-led murals and street art.

About the project
A man is walking down a sidewalk in front of a large mural of a pink teddy bear on a beach.

The artwork for the Cleethorpes promenade was designed by Creative Start and Nomad Studio and is designed to celebrate the heritage of Cleethorpes and in a style fitting to the promenade and the seaside.

Mural Design

Thanks to all the local artists who turned up to show their pride in Cleethorpes and support each other by bringing their particular talents to the mural.
