Chu Creates Special Landmark for Margate Festival

Chu
This morning, along the back of The Rendezvous in Margate, CommunityAd noticed work was being done to the cliff side and wondered what was happening.
We questioned whether the work had anything to do with Margate Festival and Chu – Graffiti Artist around a huge, handmade landmark tribute sign?
We heard a couple of rumours that the official unveiling was tonight at 7pm!
Of course we head along tonight to see what was happening.

At 7pm tonight, along Turner Way, a beautiful handmade landmark tribute sign designed by local graffiti artist Chu was unveiled honouring JMW Turner and Margate’s beautiful landscape as a regenerative destination.

The new installation depicts a street sign named Turner Way, CT9, and kicks off Margate Festivals 2018 debut evening.
