Southend Pier is set to become a vibrant hub of creativity as the Southend City Jam Street Art Festival returns from 30 August to 1 September 2024.
This year, the pier will host an exciting lineup of activities, including:
- A creative workshop led by headline artist Tizer
- A Mural Maze at the start of the pier
- A spectacular 6-meter cube featuring live painting by four renowned street artists
This event is proudly sponsored by Southend Pier’s Offshore Bar and Restaurant.
Unleash Your Creativity with Tizer
Visitors and residents alike can unleash their inner artist at a special street art workshop led by Tizer. The workshop is open to all ages and skill levels, offering the chance to create your very own street art canvas to take home. Tickets are available for purchase on the day, with sessions running from 11am to 4pm.
Explore The Mural Maze
A highlight of this year’s festival is the introduction of The Mural Maze—an interactive experience located at the start of the pier. This maze allows visitors to dive into the creative mind of British-American graffiti artist Tizer, exploring a series of dynamic and vibrant artworks.
Live Painting on a 6-Meter Cube
At the end of the pier, four headline street artists will collaborate on a massive 6-meter cube. Each side will showcase a unique design that reflects the distinct styles and visions of the artists.
A Word from Councillor Matt Dent
