Ebb & Flow – the textiles show at Hastings Arts Forum
The textiles show at Hastings Arts Forum is now in its third year – and what a symphony of sumptuousness it has become! This year’s theme, Ebb & Flow, invited responses which were not limited to the sea but pondered its wider significance. Twenty one artists rose to the challenge. HOT reporter Cathy Simpson was charmed, delighted and moved by the resulting show.
Your museum, your say
Culture Shift is working with Hastings Museum and Art Gallery to find out more about how we use the museum, by organising a creative consultation. They would like to invite you to an event to explore your ideas and views on the museum, now and in the future.
Hastings has a wine shop, at last. St Leonards has two: Phoenix & Plum in Kings Road; and you can buy wine at Graze on Grand on the front. But now Borough Wines, Beers & Books has their own wine shop. It opened in Robertson Street and, having given it a few weeks to bed in, HOT’s Lauris Morgan-Griffiths went to take a look.
Art Station to Art Station…
Even after Coastal Currents, it is impossible to escape from art in this town… Last Thursday saw the opening of the second photography show at Hastings Station by a group of artists known collectively as ‘EDGE’. And this weekend, the forecourt of St Leonards Warrior Square station will become the arena for a very slow race by life-size garden gnomes, whilst the ‘SPACE’ next door will be the temporary home for installations by a group of Belgian artists. HOT’s Erica Smith sees her home town through alien eyes.
Front Row: Out Of This World
Calling all fashionistas! Get ready for the Front Row Fashion Show, ‘Out Of This World’, the South East’s renowned fashion event. Front Row is a two-day event on the weekend of 21 and 22 November comprising a catwalk show, music, a public design competition – The Charity Shop Challenge – and a Vintage Fair. Both young and established designers are invited to work with materials that are re-used and re-cycled – a truly grass-roots event that champions Sussex creativity and compassion fashion, explains organiser Maika Crampton.
Have your say on ESCC cuts
East Sussex County Council has issued a press release calling on residents to have their say on how the next round of budget savings – or cuts – are to be made. A saving of £600 per household must be made, it says. HOT’s Zelly Restorick reports.
Local musicians resuscitate Twin Town connection
World renowned, locally-based jazz singer, Liane Carroll and popular local band, The Kytes are getting together to back the campaign to help our Twin Town, Hastings, Sierra Leone in its recovery from the devastating Ebola outbreak and from the recent floods. They will be playing at the Friendship Link’s Charity Ball at The Montgomerie Suite, Bannatynes Hotel on Saturday 31 October.
