Other partners on this ambitious Cultural Development Fund supported project included Hammond House, Nomad Design and Andy Pea and the project saw the creation of a series of impactful, large scale murals inspired by local heritage around Grimsby locations.

Paint the Town Proud went on to win the Mayors ‘Community Impact Award’ at the NEL Civic Awards 2023.

The project also included creative community participation, a documentary and a series of podcasts. We supported with project development, community consultation, logistics, business partnerships and with engaging some of the local and regional / national artists who participated in the project.
We’re proud to see the legacy of the first phase continue with another Paint the Town Proud phase led by Creative Start who are now creating more colourful murals in Cleethorpes.
