Private view Thursday 17 May.
The Norwich Twenty Group of artists was formed in 1944 and now after over sixty years the membership has grown to more than seventy artists from all over Norfolk.
The group works in all aspects of the practice of contemporary fine art and in recent years have exhibited in Rouen, Novi Sad and Koblenz. We are delighted to have them travelling across another border to be with us exploring the concept of “Festival”.
Original artwork will reflect the artists’ personal responses to gatherings of people who celebrate music, performance, belief and common interests from the past to the present.
