Thirteen local artists bring an eclectic summer exhibition to The Forum Norwich later this month, in what marks Art Norfolk’s first showcase at the city centre venue. The free exhibition, running from 14 to 17 July, fills The Atrium with works spanning landscapes, seascapes, wildlife, abstracts, and sculpture.
The group works across oils, watercolours, pastels, acrylics, mixed media, textiles, collage, and metals including cold cast bronze. Participating artists Marion Addy, Eleanor Alison, Pauline Bayfield, Malcolm Cudmore, Julie Hodgeson, Ruth Mann, Jayne McLellan, Julia O’Leary, Richard Newby, Marcia Paterson, Lyn Ravenhill, Mary Richardson, and Heather Webster each bring a distinct approach to the space. The Forum’s glass-roofed Atrium provides over 400 square metres of flexible floor space for the four-day run.
The exhibition lands in a busy summer for visual arts in the city, running alongside the Norfolk Contemporary Art Society’s major show at Norwich Castle, which continues until February 2027, and the North Norfolk Exhibition Project, open until 2 August. The Forum, a Millennium building opened in 2001, regularly hosts free cultural events and community activities, and its central Millennium Plain location keeps the show easily accessible. Full opening hours and access details are available through the venue’s website.
