Bexhill Museum has launched a new community project for 2020.
Funded by Arts Council England, Insight to Culture is inviting visually impaired members of the community to join workshops at the museum to explore the galleries and collection.
Last year’s Coastal Currents Arts Festival really left its mark on Bexhill – literally! – with a fantastic mural in Wickham Road. Exhibitions, open studios, and much more kept creativity popping up all along the coast between Hastings, Rye, St Leonards, Bexhill and Eastbourne.
