SoCo (South Coast Artists) is a voluntary, artist - led organisation based in Hastings & St. Leonards, East Sussex.

We represent a broad spectrum of the visual arts with a current membership of more than fifty artists. We encourage artists to experiment, question and broaden their practice by providing opportunities to stimulate new work, exchange skills and engage with other artists and arts organisations.

We aim to widen participation and promote appreciation of the arts by providing access to a programme of high quality exhibitions, talks and workshops, in a wide variety of venues. Our activities take place mainly in the Hastings and St. Leonards area and we contribute to the cultural experience and reputation of the area for the benefit of both local people and visitors.
