Hove Civic Society started campaigning for a plinth in 2012. Its aim was to reintroduce public sculpture to Hove inspired by the success of the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square. The campaign is very close to realisation and on Saturday Hove Plinth received The Argus Star Award for Contribution to Arts and Culture at a an award ceremony at the Theatre Royal, for capturing the imagination of people in Brighton and Hove with its sculpture competition.
The Society has just produced a short video about the project which can be seen here and there is further information about the campaign on the website
