The Hastings Society of Artists, a group of seven artists exhibiting in AF 1, has agreed to give a gallery talk at 3 pm on Saturday, 24 October about the work of the group. Tea and biscuits will be provided and those attending are invited to make a donation to the Forum.

There will be a private view in both AF1 and AF2 this Friday, 16 October.

Quadripple, a group exhibiting textiles in AF2, wish to announce that live music will be provided by Lee Buchanan playing the Kora*

* A kora is an African instrument built from a large calabash cut in half and covered with cow skin to make a resonator, and has a notched bridge like a lute or guitar.

On Friday evening, 21 August a private view will be held at the Hastings Art Forum in Gallery Two, 36, Marina, St.Leonards. The show will feature an interesting taste of the art that is being created in East Sussex and can be viewed until the 2nd of September..

Serena Thirkell brings sculpture from Lewes that has been created out of transformed pieces of metal that others might discard, while James Taylor-Ward, from Rye, exhibits his oil paintings for the first time.

The collaboration of the ten artists reflects not only the diversity of art being created in East Sussex, but also the humour and sense of light and colour that is prevalent in a time of gloom.

You are invited to come and have a look, a laugh and merely enjoy an artist’s point of view.
