PhotoHastings has really established a creative hub for photographers in Hastings. By founding the organisation it has shown there are talented professional and amateur photographers in the town and its support and encouragement have given many photographers the confidence to produce innovative work and to stage exhibitions.

Hastings is extraordinary not only in the number of artists that have congregated in the town over the years but also the art genres. The town has always been supportive of those who work outside the artistic community and generate ideas and initiatives. Turner Prize nominees Project Art Works and the Artist Support Pledge are two examples, and the Stella Dore gallery is a third. HOT’s Lauris Morgan-Griffiths was delighted to come across its latest exhibition Stronger Together, a collaboration between international photographer, Giles Duley and four chosen artists. From different countries, the artists have taken his photographs and intervened in the images.
