The Jerwood Gallery is being entirely funded by the Jerwood Foundation – both its build costs of £4m and its running costs in perpetuity. The wider Stade masterplan is being funded by a partnership of local, regional and national partners. These include a £2m grant from the central government Sea Change fund, alongside funding from Hastings Borough Council, East Sussex County Council, SEEDA and the Arts Council which makes up the other £2.5m of the costs. In total, £8.5m will be spent on the area, with the Jerwood investment successfully helping to secure the funding from central government and SEEDA that would otherwise not be spent in Hastings.
Construction of the gallery, public space and community facilities commenced in spring 2010. The public space and community facilities were operational from the summer of 2011 and the main construction of the gallery completed December 2011. We are now preparing for our public launch on 17 March 2012. Details of our opening times will be posted soon.
