As the countdown to the #volunteersweek continues, we would like to introduce you to Deborah Latter @debscolours who has been with us since 2018.

Here is Doborah's story:

"I am 57 year old Aussie who came to the UK to travel for a year back in 1988! Happy to be here, especially to be back near the sea (a very different sea) in St Leonards. I wanted to volunteer here because I love art galleries. They’re beautiful spaces for mindfulness and good mental health. Hastings Contemporary is peaceful and welcoming. I’ve been volunteering since March 2018 and the things I enjoy most about working here is being amongst the art in the beautiful rooms, the kind and friendly staff, other volunteers, and the welcoming atmosphere. I feel valued.

I’ve learnt so much since volunteering at the gallery. My knowledge of contemporary art and artists has expanded massively, especially when I was on the WEA courses.

My favourite exhibition was Nigel Cooke’s ‘Painters Beach Club’. Huge paintings with so much to see and feel in them, he was also really friendly when he talked to the kid’s group I was helping Janey Moffatt with."

NEW IN OUR SHOP

Ravilious: Submarine by James Russell.

Ravilious: Submarine' celebrates the creation of a remarkable series of prints made by Eric Ravilious during the dark winter of 1940/41. It was rare to find an artist who descended into the depths to portray the interior of a naval submarine, yet it is not just the subject matter that makes the Submarine Series so powerful; the medium too is extraordinary.

Our guest curator James Russell is an art historian and curator who enjoys finding new ways of looking at 20th century British art and design. Best-known for the blockbuster exhibition ‘Ravilious’ at Dulwich Picture Gallery, he particularly relishes assembling large-scale exhibitions exploring themes in modern British.

James curated the Seaside Modern: Art and Life on the Beach exhibition and our current show Seafaring.
