Hove Plinth: A Home for Public Art on the Sussex Coast

On the seafront promenade in Hove, the Hove Plinth is a unique public art space designed to showcase sculptures by contemporary artists. Inspired by London’s famous Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, Hove Plinth was developed by the community-driven organisation Hove Civic Society to bring dynamic and engaging art to the city’s waterfront.

A Platform for Creativity

The plinth, unveiled in 2018, serves as a temporary exhibition space, allowing different sculptures to be displayed over time. Each piece is selected through public consultation and expert judging, ensuring a mix of artistic excellence and community engagement.

The first sculpture to be installed was Constellation, a striking bronze piece by Jonathan Wright, which depicts a carousel of objects symbolizing Hove’s heritage, from a cricket wicket to a nod to the city’s engineering past. The plinth continues to feature thought-provoking and visually captivating works, making it a must-visit for locals and tourists alike.

Constellation was installed in 2018 and is now on display in the Hove Museum gardens.

Art That Evolves

The second sculpture Flight of the Langoustine by Pierre Diamantopoulo MRSS was inaugurated on 17th September 2023 by the mayor of Brighton & Hove.

Unlike permanent public art installations, Hove Plinth offers an evolving cultural experience. Every few years, a new sculpture takes center stage, keeping the space fresh and engaging. The project is also supported by crowdfunding, sponsorship, and grants, making it a true community effort.

Whether you’re a lover of modern sculpture or simply strolling along the seafront, Hove Plinth is a testament to the power of public art in transforming shared spaces and sparking conversation.
