“Drawn by the sea, the light, the net lofts and its rhapsodic bohemian sensibilities, not to mention the spirit of pirate smugglers, we will be rolling into Hastings town this July with the artworld’s most exuberant event. For one afternoon only”.

“Our art convoy will make its way through the vibrant streets lined with cool cycle shops, designer beard trimmers and shops bursting with re-found classics to set up outside the oily lustre of Jerwood Gallery. We’ll bring an afternoon of unforgettable art and frivolity to The Stade. Car boots will be flung open, overflowing with local and London talents with highlights including an exciting new collaboration with Marcus Harvey on the day that his solo exhibition opens in Jerwood Gallery. Plus a Hastings exclusive print from Sir Peter Blake, a talking Chicken Town hand print from John Cooper Clarke and just for the day hand painted album covers containing the latest vinyl release from Turner prize winning artist Martin Creed & band who will also be performing live as as part of an exciting and eclectic three hour cabaret from Cabaret Futura’s inimitable Richard Strange“.
