Mini Masterpiece Exhibition Set to Take Art on the MoveA hundred and thirty original postcard-sized works by North Norfolk-based artists were on show at Sheringham Little Theatre on Monday (October 5), as part of a new scheme aimed at promoting the area's wealth of artistic talent.
North Norfolk Artspace, which was set up 3 months ago by North Norfolk News reporter
Karen Bethell, offers affordable exhibition space at the theatre, while the scheme's
website, provides a comprehensive resource for artists, galleries and art-lovers.

"After the fantastic response I had to the
postcard exhibition, I came up with the idea of taking artists' work on tour," Karen
said. "The idea is to offer people an opportunity to buy small, affordably-priced
original artworks, but hopefully also to encourage them to visit some of north Norfolk's
many galleries and artists' studios." The Royal College of Art-style "secret" exhibition, which runs until November 1st, will feature framed works by local artists, whose identity will not be revealed until after the work is sold.
Contributors range from top selling artists Brian Lewis, Brian Ryder and June and Alwyn
Crawshaw, to Professional Photographer of the Year, David Morris of Cromer and 7-year-old
Holt art prodigy Kieron Williamson.
"I am really looking forward to the exhibition, and I am very grateful for the tremendous amount of support I have had for the scheme from local artists and gallery owners," Karen said.
The North Norfolk Artspace “secret” exhibition of 130 postcard-sized works by
local artists will run at Sheringham Little Theatre, 2 Station Road, NR26 8RE, from Monday
(October 5) – November 1st. All work will be priced at £40. |
