The independent community arts festival started in 1999 and has reinvented itself every year since to reflect the amazing creative community in the area.
A spokesperson for Coastal Currents said: “We’re delighted to have Arts Council England and Hastings Borough Council support this year for our young people and early-career artist programmes, helping us create opportunities for the next generation of creative talent.”
As well as the open studios, the footbridge at Hastings railway station has been transformed into a gallery displaying the work of local creatives.
You can find more details about the artists and the location of the studios by going to www.coastalcurrents.org.uk.
Pictured is work by artists based at The Sugar House, Elford Street, just behind Queens Road. Artists featured include Emma Harding, Anna Malni, The Two Ians, and Annie Lawson.
