Hartlepool Mail
|July 03, 2025
A renowned artist is working with residents and community groups across the town to create murals depicting Hartlepool's rich heritage.
The Northern School of Art, Hartlepool Rovers, Throston Youth Project and Thrive Tees-side are designing and painting their own murals to reflect the voices, stories and history of the town.
Organised by Hartlepool Borough Council and led by County Durham mural artist Lewis Hobson, the festival was officially launched last weekend with an exhibition of work by Lewis at the Hartlepool Art Gallery, in Church Square.
Lewis has painted a number of murals across the town including a giant fisherman's wife, RNLI lifeboat and Andy Capp comic strip.
