Joint Statement from Friends of Marine Lake & New Brighton Creative Futures
Friends of Marine Lake, in collaboration with New Brighton Creative Futures, remain deeply committed to celebrating and enhancing New Brighton's Marine Lake as a cultural and community landmark.
THE SPIRIT OF THE LAKE
Some moments crystallise what New Brighton is becoming. Friday’s inauguration of the Captain Mike Lowe mural was one of them — a gathering of people who care deeply about this town, its stories, and its future. And in the middle of all that warmth and energy, something quite special happened: Spirit of the Lake became part of the day.
Activating the OpenAIR Gallery: A New Chapter for Creativity in New Brighton
Today we launch something bigger than a video, bigger than a campaign — it’s a statement of intent. New Brighton Creative Futures is activating the OpenAIR Gallery as a living, breathing creative engine for the town. Not just a place to look at murals, but a place to learn from them, create with them, and build futures around them.
Captain Mike Lowe Mural Inauguration — A Moment of Community, Memory and Mersey Pride
New Brighton came together in extraordinary style for the inauguration of the Captain Mike Lowe mural — an afternoon that felt less like an event and more like a collective exhale. After years of turbulence in the local cultural landscape, this was a moment of reconnection: emotional, grounded, and deeply human. A kind of community healing, shaped by shared stories and the pride of a town rediscovering its creative strength.
Why Everyone’s Talking About the Captain on the Wall in New Brighton
Sometimes the best ideas start with a simple conversation. This one began at a meeting of the New Brighton Partnership, where local businesses and community groups come together to share ideas, stories, and a bit of hope for the town’s future. Pauline from the Floral Pavilion turned to me and said, “What about a mural for Captain Mike Lowe?”
Thank you to our supporters
