With over 400 members, this opportunity is extended to a considerable number of arts and crafts practitioners at all levels. The Forum funds itself through membership fees, hiring out the gallery space, modest commissions from the sale of artworks, fundraising events and donations. The Forum runs two interconnecting galleries under the name The Gallery at Hastings Arts Forum. These are available to members and non-members to hire – either separately or as one whole space. The galleries are lit by natural light bouncing off the sea and a blended state-of-the-art LED lighting system. Exhibitions run for a minimum of two weeks, but longer periods are negotiable.
