We are keen to engage with artists operating in the expansive field of digital arts. Our primary emphasis is on scheduled initiatives, but we are open to discovering more about people’s creative practices. Feel free to get in touch with us: obx@hastingscommons.com or come and say hello at our next OBX Connects event (1st Thursday evening of each month).

Upon gaining a deeper understanding of your work, we may be able to support your project through a partnership where we provide access to in-kind space, equipment, supporting funding applications, and/or technical guidance. Depending on the nature of your work and our funding situation, there might be a modest financial contribution and sometimes we offer commissions, so do keep an eye out for these.

Although we have achieved a lot we are a relatively new organisation with many diverse objectives. In addition to fostering the local arts and digital community, our primary emphasis lies in designing and delivering projects that empower young people aged 11-18 to enhance their digital skills and co-design projects with us.

OBX is presently supporting projects that celebrate the Trinity Triangle Heritage Action Zone. One of these projects is "Living Memories," an artwork crafted by artist Emma Harding. Engaging with individuals from various locations in Hastings, including shops, coffee bars, and day centres, Emma has been discussing and  collecting their memories, which she has then cast into ceramic tiles. Collaborating with students from Bexhill College, Emma will also be filming these narratives and projection mapping them onto the tiles at a special event in March 2024.

Collaborating with like-minded organisations to pool resources and expertise for a common vision is a key focus for us. If you have any proposals on how we could collaborate, we welcome the opportunity to discuss them. Feel free to reach out to us at obx@hastingscommons.com  or meet us in person at our next OBX Connects event, held on the first Thursday evening of each month.
