Creative Waves Community Arts, is a not for profit
Community Interest Company founded by local artists
Vanessa Breen and Nadia Chalk in 2011.
Their energy and enthusiasm for creative collaborations
gives them a relentless drive to design and organise
projects that involve the local community whilst
improving public spaces.
Creative Waves has a successful track record working
on exciting, innovative public art and community
projects across West Sussex. Working with museums,
schools, colleges, councils and community groups.
They launched Art on the Pier in 2012, showcasing the artwork
of 60 local artists. Since then it has grown annually and thousands of local children have also benefited from displaying their artwork. The educational heritage projects have engaged a whole new audience and the colourful translucent panels that glow vibrantly all year round make people smile every day of the year, whatever the weather.
Nadia & Nessy started a community garden ‘Bugcycle’ in Beach House Park, in 2014. It’s a free, creative space, with everything made from recycled objects in their art workshops. There are educational activities in the garden including a bird trail and identifying trees bugs.

As artists/designers they thrive from challenges that drive them to create and conquer. Sharing the exciting process that motivates as many people from all backgrounds along the way.

"We aim to inspire people and inject art into the
community by collaborating and sharing our wealth of experience,
talent & creativity."

The craftsman is very experienced at making metal sculptures that are user friendly, robust and attractive. He is focussed on making the overall design practical and easy to maintain as well as being suitable for a public space.
