Hastings Creatives

Norm has a new little sister site: Hastingscreative.co.uk.

A small, but elegant site to list the deep well of talent in Norman Road, St Leonards, Hastings and the odd bits of Sussex close by.

Norman Road has a new art gallery of Russian Art. We think. Whatever, it is splendidly smart and gallery-ish.

An ‘appening Autumn!

We might have been away, most likely on the beach rather than torpid Tuscany, or Erstwhile Exotica, but we are still busy bees on Norman Road.

Two large gallery type places are being brought to life, one in part of Bookers, by Russell, who specializes in Russian paintings, and the other, on the big corner building, a community gallery, mooted, planned and shoved forward by Ed of Love Studios.

Art soothes the Norman breast.

And, thankfully art is here: at McCarrons this coming weekend is another open studio where Selina di Girolamo is showing her work, along with drawings by Jane Marriner.

And in McCarron’s itself Chris Steele has a fab exhibition of his local watercolours, which only opened a day or so ago, and there are some left..

(and in case you missed the opening night, hmmm, the most cupcaketastic tiny, but perfectly formed, and totally delish cupcakes were from Bush Baby Bakes.)

Norman Road is changing and refining eclectically, and we are going to welcome some Norman Neighbours: people who are nearby but don't fit in any category known to Norman. Artists, Book publishers and karmic creatives will all be here.
The Bloomsbury of the south coast, thats what we are now. Allegedly.

Friends of Norm
Friends of Norman, (FONs), are too numerous to be left alone any more. Artists, musicians, shop owners, ...anyone with a connection and a Norman friend can be found here, enriching the Norman Experience far, far beyond the bounds of 1066. And all that.
Fun FONs here
