In 1995 a community project called ‘Hastings in Stitches’ launched, a tapestry made up of 68 small panels of embroidery that delivered an art piece depicting 68 organisations. This piece was created by local embroidery and textile makers with the organisations with the Women’s cooperative.

The single pieces were joined together to make one tapestry that is currently displayed in the Hastings Town Hall. Arts on Prescription are making a new piece for 2025; working alongside 68 organisations and 15 local Embroidery artists to be launched during Coastal Currents in September 2025 to celebrate the 30th Birthday of the original.

20+ designers, and 67 organisations confirmed along with the support from Hastings Borough Council, Hastings Museum & Art Gallery and Arts Council England.
