PAPERGIRL project comes to Hastings!
The Papergirl project, where original artwork is spontaneously distributed to unsuspecting members of the public, is a brilliant innovation, writes HOT’s Zelly Restorick, which has now been brought to Hastings thanks to local resident and artist, Erin Veness.
In 2014, says Erin, she donated several works to various Papergirl projects around the world. After researching the ethos and the project in details, she then decided it would be awesome if Papergirl came to her own town – and she set about organising it and making her vision real.

Hello Dani, Erin doesn’t have a day planned for the delivery of the artwork, but she is definitely looking for interested volunteers – and asks that you contact her, please. And any other people interested in offering artwork or delivering! Thanks. Zelly

That’s great, Dani. I’m contacting Erin to ask her and will be in touch. Alternatively, you can connect with her directly via the Facebook page [link in article]. Thanks for being in touch. Warm wishes, Zelly
