EXHIBITION COMMUNITY

studioUS
Work by artists connected with 3 creative organisations:
originalprojects; (Great Yarmouth)
OUTPOST Studios (Norwich)
The Art Station (Saxmundham)

OPENING EVENT: Saturday 15 May, 12 - 4pm

studioUS is an exhibition as survey and interrogation of some of the functions, activities and outputs of artists’ studios and their networks. Artists’ studios provide vital space for production, presentation, connection and exchange, activities that are often hidden from public view.

The function of art schools as studio spaces is also an element of the exhibition, with a dedicated space provided for students from Norwich University of the Arts to use as dynamic active space for the production, discussion and presentation of work for the duration of the exhibition. Students from East Coast College and University of Suffolk will also be presenting a photography exhibition during the show.

A programme of associated events will take place events across venues; lectures, talks, screenings, socials etc and will be shaped and informed during the installation in response to participants' inclusions, ideas and concerns
