Stains & Traces at Hastings Arts Forum

Stains and Traces has taken a regular appearance in the HAF calendar in memory of Ian Welsh, a former Chair and champion of the Arts Forum who sadly died a few years ago, who has left this powerful exhibition theme as his legacy. Under the invited co-curatorship of artists Carly Ralph and Mary Morris – alongside selected artists Denise Jones, Annabel Faraday and Debbie Lyddon – HOT’s Lauris Morgan-Griffiths was eager to see how they had interpreted the theme.

Young talent on display at Hastings Arts Forum

Hastings and St Leonards have a long tradition of creative energy and artistic exuberance. Historically, the town has drawn artists, writers and musicians, who have created work that is recognised nationally as well as internationally. But little recognition has been given to our very young, emerging talent. Until now, as an exhibition at the Hastings Arts Forum, Primary Art, Hastings and St. Leonards Young Artists, so well demonstrates, writes HAF member John Cole, who also took the photos.

A colourful journey from Mexico, via Nice to Hastings

Although we are always surrounded by colour, the changing tones of the sea, sky and trees the world has seemed a little bleak of late. So it is interesting to be reminded of the strength of colour – reds, oranges, blues and greens – that can lift a mood and evoke memories. HOT’s Lauris Morgan-Griffiths found colour writ large in Harriet Macaree’s paintings at Hastings Arts Forum.
