Thornham Village Hall

We would like to welcome you to our annual exhibition at Thornham Village Hall.

At Art 21 we are a group of friends who meet weekly in the Norfolk village of Dersingham. We have a mixture of both professional and amateur artists. Several of the group are also active members of the West Norfolk Artists Association and contribute to other open exhibitions.

John Walker

The group was originally formed in the year 2,000, hence the name Art 21, being the 21st century. The membership numbers have always been limited to about a dozen to keep the purpose of the group as one of artists working together without the need for committees, officers etc.

The aim of the group is to work and communicate with like-minded accomplished artists in a friendly creative atmosphere and to provide exhibiting facilities for its members. The exchange of ideas and mutual encouragement is an approach which we hope underpins the quality and standard of our work.

Ether by Esther Boehm at Cley 21 – nowhere

The North Norfolk Exhibition Project celebrates their 20th anniversary with

nowhere
not in or to anyplace, not anywhere – nowhere is now here

Exhibition dates: 1 July to 1 August 2021

This year the remarkable North Norfolk Exhibition Project celebrates 21 years with the 20th exhibition, intended for 2020 and realised this summer.

The space under the bridge between Wiveton and Cley was known as nowhere, perhaps because it marked the boundary between two parishes and led at one time to an island in the estuary – another nowhere. Norfolk had a village Nowhere and we can travel down Nowhere Lane. Nowhere presents a challenge, a paradox to play with. For Cley, nowhere is both somewhere very specific and a particular experience – of being now here.

nowhere embraces work that signals our psychological spaces, exhibited here temporarily, but ultimately belonging everywhere and nowhere – work that brings our attention firmly back to the now here.

The 20th exhibition, curated by Amanda Geitner, features work by 50 artists and includes painting, sculpture, textiles, photography and ceramics – a marvellous range of new work addressing themes as diverse as the migration of birds, the movement of the stars and the pure pleasure that can be found in colour and form.

‘I am very proud to be counted amongst the curators of this extraordinary project. The 20th anniversary is particularly special for me. In 2001 I was married in Salthouse Church when the very first exhibition was on show. My father and I walked down the aisle around an installation by Gordon Senior – 20 years on, I am still married and I still love Gordon’s work! I am thrilled that his work also features in nowhere. We are part of a great and vibrant community of artists and curators who have been involved in the North Norfolk Exhibition Project for two decades. Cause for celebration indeed.’ Amanda Geitner

The show is open daily from July 1st to August 1st from 10am—5pm. Entry is free and a catalogue is available. A range of artist-led workshops, talks and events are being organised in compliance with current restrictions.

In May 2019 I opened a small, but perfectly formed, gallery in my garden. Initially I showed my work, but the intention was to open it up to other artists and run workshops. Sadly 2020 went tits up for all of us, so I did not open last year.

I am hoping to open again at the end of May, Covid permitting, and will be happy to see visitors again.

Green Dot Gallery will be open on Saturdays and Sundays between 11am – 4pm, BUT it is best to contact me beforehand in case all days are not possible.
 
Green Dot Gallery is at St. Mary’s Lodge, High Street, Fincham, PE33 9EL.
There will be signs on the railings.
 
Please call on 01366 347841 or email on brendabrown239@outlook.com to avoid a wasted visit.
 
I look forward to seeing you.
Best wishes, Brenda Brown

5. Le Strange Terrace, Hunstanton

Opening exhibition May 2nd
12 noon -7pm.

A new venture in an old coal shed.
Naked Norfolk at the The Coal Shed Gallery

Featuring several WNAA artists and some new surprising talent.

The Coal Shed Gallery in Hunstanton returns to its former glory as an art gallery! ‘A right little treasure trove of Norfolk talent!’

Located along Le Strange Terrace in Hunstanton, the Coal Shed Gallery is part of the original railway site which ran from the seaside resort of Hunstanton to the nearby town of King’s Lynn. Following investment from the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk (BCKLWN) in 2008 and support from the Hunstanton and District Civic Society (HDCS), the once derelict building was beautifully converted into an art gallery.

The new tenant of the Coal Shed Gallery, Jacqueline Kitch who ran the art gallery and shop in Westgate, Hunstanton up until the national lockdown in December 2020 says she is “absolutely thrilled to be moving into this beautiful building. My Husband and I love the building and we always make a bee line for it on our walks. I could not believe my luck when I walked past and saw that the building was empty and after making enquiries through the Borough Council and through the Civic Society, I managed to secure a lease. I have lots of local Artists and Artisans coming on board along with some of the old favourites that were previously in the gallery and shop and on the website.

The lockdown has been tough on lots of local businesses and at one time I was ready to just give up but now the Coal Shed Gallery door has opened and I am going to jump straight through it!”

Quote from HDCS ” Hunstanton and District Civic Society is delighted that this iconic building will finally be put to good use. We believe that the art gallery and retail offer will enhance the area and bring vibrancy to Le Strange Terrace”.

NakedNorfolk @The Coal Shed Gallery opens its doors on Sunday 2nd May at noonand asks that customers remain Covid aware and follow the Covid guidelines at all times.
