This theme has now become a staple for the Hastings Arts Forum exhibition calendar and we will be hosting the fourth curated exhibition opening on 6 February 2018 at the gallery. This year the exhibition will run in the whole gallery for 4 weeks. Stains and Traces was an original idea of former chairman, Ian Welsh who sadly passed away in 2014 and is based on ‘representing the presence or absence of a figure as well as anthropomorphic echoes and resonances’.

Featuring Maeve Berry, Brendan Commane, Kathleen Fox, Kate Gritton, Bruce Holdsworth, Robin Holtom, Ray McChrystal, Sally Meakins, Susuan Miller, Venetia Nevill, Helen O’Leary, Nigel Oxley, Silk Road Project, Branka Vrhovski-Stanton, Jacob Welsh, and Jo Welsh.
