Coral Carnival

This drop-in hands-on art event is part of a creative programme at Hastings Contemporary in summer 2026 and welcomes all ages to explore ocean ecology and the effects of climate change on coral reefs. Using colourful materials, participants can shape their own coral forms while learning about healthy and stressed coral in a playful, accessible way. This inspires creativity, empathy, and care for the environment.

Hastings Contemporary is a bold and independent art gallery and exhibition space on the seafront in Hastings Old Town. Located on the town’s historic fishing beach, it showcases modern and contemporary art while bringing inspiring cultural experiences to the coastal community through exhibitions, events, and collaborative projects.
