About

At Hastings Contemporary we bring world-class modern and contemporary art to a spectacular coastal setting. The gallery welcomes everybody, and through our exhibitions and activities we aim to enrich lives by offering new experiences, supporting creativity and helping our town to thrive. Over the last 11 years we have established ourselves as a celebrated cultural hub for the South East. We are situated right on the sea front, among Hastings’ famous net huts, overlooking the largest beach-launched fishing fleet in Europe.
