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).
Full details of the scheme can be found on Hastings Borough Council’s planning portal: https://publicaccess.hastings.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=_HSTBC_DCAPR_120764&activeTab=summary
The spaces are due to be completed in the summer of 2025.
