Project Art Works opens a brand-new pop-up gallery, workshop space, and shop in the heart of Hastings in November 2025 – May 2026. Located next door to the library, 12 Claremont has been beautifully renovated and refurbished by Hastings Commons. As part of a longstanding alliance with Project Art Works the building will serve as a vibrant, central hub of creativity, inclusion, and community engagement over the next 7 months.
The new space on the ground floor of 12 Claremont, reflects Project Art Works’ vision of greater representation and visibility for learning disabled and autistic artists and their work. Offering a temporary gallery to showcase contemporary art, an accessible creative workshop space, and a shop featuring unique artworks and products, this new venue is a welcoming, dynamic and creative environment for new audiences, artists, families, carers and visitors.
Project Art Works activate the space through In Residence, a rich dynamic creative programme imbedding inclusivity and access to culture within the wider ecosystem of Hastings Commons and its people, creatives, businesses and spaces. The building hosts a brand-new Changing Place located in the basement, open to the public.
