This headline is misleading, I've been twice to this gallery , love the design of the exterior which mirrors the fishermens net huts. Been in the cafe, great place , staff friendly , food & drinks fine. Never been charged £9 'to enter' , you need to justify that remark.
Why are the galleries at the De La Warr in Bexhill, and Eastbourne free when yours offers nothing more ? And did the same architects who designed your building have anything to do with Hastings pier redevelopment ? You know the ones from the ' Box school of architecture ' I've seen light industrial units with more empathy and vision !
