Frieze Box is coming to Jubilee Square from the 7th-11th July as part of Rising Styles Hip Hop Festival.  An enormous wooden box will be erected outside in Jubilee Square and will be painted by some of Brighton's and the UK's most exciting graffiti, stencil and street artists.  This will be a living, evolving and constantly changing installation. The time time artists have on the box will be limited to just a few days each so you'll need to be quick and visit often to witness the complete set!
