Art Meets Architecture:
A Linear Gallery of Seaside Beach Huts on the Lincolnshire coast

Bathing Beauties® began back in 2006 with an international art and architecture competition to ‘Re-imagine the Beach Hut for the 21st Century’.
The project captured worldwide attention and resulted in three, ongoing programmes:

  • Huts on Parade: a series of bold huts on the superb, but partly forgotten, 16km stretch of Lincolnshire coast
  • Hub Touring Model Exhibition: a selection of up to 100 inspirational scale models by artists / architects worldwide,on tour in galleries around the UK
  • Festival of Bathing Beauties®: now the longest linear coastal art festival in Europe – takes place each September

 Structures on the Edge: The next generation of Bathing Beauties

Continuing the massive success of Bathing Beauties®, Structures on the Edge is a new concept to integrate permanent small structures designed by artists and architects for the enjoyment and understanding of the coastal environment, on the extreme edges of the Lincolnshire coast.
A design competition held in summer 2010 again grabbed the attention of the architectural community, with exciting submissions received for a range of sites between Mablethorpe and Chapel St Leonards. The winners were selected in November 2010.
