The Norfolk and Norwich Art Circle is getting ready to head to The Forum for its 210th exhibition.
The art group has been a pillar of the county’s artistic scene for 141 years and now it’s artists are set to stage an exhibition in the bustling centre of Norwich – showing more than 150 works by its members.
The exhibition will feature new selected artworks and sculptures from the group in a variety of mediums, styles and artforms – with all artwork for sale.
“There will be something for everyone”
Ally Zawadzki, Chairman of Norfolk and Norwich Art Circle, said: “I am very much looking forward to seeing the rich variety of work at the 210th exhibition at the Forum. The range of styles and the quality of artwork showcases some of the best work from our members in the region, and there will be something for everyone. Representatives from Norfolk and Norwich Art Circle will be on hand during the show to talk about the work, so please come along and enjoy.”

The popular group has over 200 members, and the history of Norfolk and Norwich Art Circle is deeply rooted in the county.
Established in 1885 following Crome & Cotman’s famous Norwich Society of Artists, the Norfolk and Norwich Art Circle has included treasured national artists such as Alfred Munnings, Edward Seago and Bernard Reynolds in its membership.
The group is always welcoming new members to its groups from a wide diversity of genres and experience.
It hosts regular events including social gatherings, demonstrations and workshops by professionals and a regular life drawing class. It holds two major exhibitions of members’ work each year and all members can submit their work for selection.
The exhibition at The Forum will run from Friday 8th May until Friday 15th May, open from 9am to 5pm daily.
There will be an open preview on Friday 8th May from 6pm when artists will be on hand to speak to visitors and guests about their work. All are welcome.
