Hastings Seeks Art for Iconic Bottle Alley
22 Feb
Summary
- Artists sought to reimagine Bottle Alley's 113 concrete columns.
- A £30,000 budget is allocated for new art installations.
- Artwork must endure harsh coastal weather or creatively respond.
Hastings Borough Council is initiating a search for artists to contribute to the revitalization of Bottle Alley, a notable 1930s covered promenade. This landmark, featuring 113 concrete columns, requires updated artistic elements as the current installation, 'Wavelengths,' needs refreshing.
A budget of £30,000 has been designated for this project. Artists are encouraged to submit designs that can withstand or creatively engage with the promenade's extreme environmental conditions, including intense summer sunlight, high footfall, and harsh winter storms characterized by salt spray and dampness.
