We are a group of professional artists based in Hastings, East Sussex. Our skills cover a broad
spectrum of different art forms. Many of us also work in educational settings.

What we do
We work with the community in contemporary projects, making art, encouraging communication
and facilitating creativity to enhance both individual and collective cultural experience. We work mainly
in Hastings and St Leonards and also in London and the Arts Council South East region.

How we do it
We go out into community and educational settings to work with individuals and groups of all ages,
accessing peoples ideas and enabling them to express them through a variety of media.

Why we do it
We believe that the arts have a significant part to play in the life of any community by providing
opportunities for people to express themselves, learn new skills,build confidence and enrich
personal experience. We are committed to equal opportunities.
