SUPER SKETCH SATURDAY
11am–4pm
£5
Be part of our new outdoor drawing event and capture the spirit of the Hastings coastline!
From the beach to the country park, sketch your favourite view and be in with a chance of winning a prize. At the end of the day Leah Cross, our Director of Programmes, Jo Myles, Creative Director of Sussex Contemporary, Yasmin Ornsby of Hastings Fishermen’s Protection Society and Mayor of Hastings Councillor Paula Warne will judge the entries and choose the winners.
Everyone and all ages are welcome. There will be an adult category, and three children’s categories: under 16, under 12, and under 8.
Your ticket includes basic drawing materials but feel free to bring your own too, in any medium.
Prizes include: a Hastings Contemporary Plus One membership, an archive exhibition catalogue, 1 free submission to our next Open call for artists, 1 free ticket to a life drawing class. Winners in the children’s categories will each receive a goodie bag from our shop.
Instructions on the day: buy or show your tickets at our front desk from 11am, collect your art materials and then set off sketching. Return your artwork to the gallery by 3pm latest, and remember to label it with your name and contact details. Winners will be announced from 4pm on our social media and will be notified by email.
* When exploring the fishing beach next to the gallery, please be careful where you walk. It is a working beach with machinery and equipment in daily use by Hastings fishermen.
For a bird’s eye view why not sketch from Hastings Castle. Show your Super Sketch Saturday ticket or booking confirmation for £2 off entry to Hastings Castle on 30 May.
