Artists in residence

Summary

Information on current artists working on projects that we are involved in will appear on this page.

  • We aim to give you the opportunity to see art actually being created and, where possible, offer linked workshop activities;
  • We plan to include artists from a wide range of art forms in addition to commissioning further pieces of both temporary and permanent sculpture;
  • We will provide images of the commissions enabling you to follow the projects progress;
  • Achieving a distinctive local quality will be a priority.

About our work with artists

Whenever possible we link with communities around the district to provide our residents with the opportunity of working with professional artists. The benefits are:

  • We want to contribute to the cultural vibrancy of the area, helping to make South Norfolk a great place to live;
  • We want to develop local audiences for all art forms and help to make attendance at live performances possible for those who would otherwise be denied this opportunity due to their geographic location;
  • We want to encourage new and exciting ways of working between artists and residents.
