Work continues into 2025 as work on site at the Arches in Hastings takes shape. Renovations will greatly improve the Arches, resurface the front yard and provide completely new studio spaces in Arch 3. As part of the funding for the site we have received over £70,000 for a lift and Changing Place facilities from the Hastings Skills Capital Fund. The funders for the Arches development are: Arts Council England, Wolfson Foundation, Garfield Weston Foundation, Clothworkers Foundation, Foyle Foundation, and Levelling Up Partnership funding (who have also funded some of the development work at Trinity Hall as well as the Architectural Heritage Fund).

Residency at Bethlem Gallery

In January 2025 we will launch a residency by Project Art Works across the Bethlem Gallery and the National Autism Unit. The exhibition (Jan 28th – Feb 7th) invites visitors to experience an environment informed by the strengths and interests of people who have been before them. Supported sessions in the pop-up studio will enable a range of people to represent themselves on their own terms through authentic responses which become part of an evolving installation.
