The inaugural ncas Small Grants fund received a number of high quality applications to its first round of funding and after a lively discussion among the trustees, the following three recipients are announced:
QueerFest for Interrupt, an exhibition of contemporary art to be shown in the Shoe Factory Social Club, 8 - 25 February 2024. The intention of Interrupt is to challenge the heteronormative gaze and elicit stories of a Queer experience. Interrupt aims to validate and affirm our identities, and potentially spark new ideas in individual practice and support emerging artists. UPDATE: This exhibition will now be held in the Undercroft, near Norwich Market.
Unconsumed. Unconsumed II is a group exhibition of around 100 artists, either East Anglia-based or with a strong connection to the region, taking place from 27 May - 12 June 2024. Multi-generational, cross-disciplinary and championing inclusivity, this will be an exciting showcase of our local creative talent.
Grace Adam for the creation of a body of work for an exhibition at Mandells Gallery from 10 - 31 August 2024. This includes the development and production of ceramic sculptures, edition prints and collages. The central theme of the work is flint: its histories, geometries and forms.
Thank you to all who contacted us and we look forward to hearing from more applicants in our next round (closing date: 29 February 2024 - for more information & application form, see under ABOUT tab above). A big thank-you also to our members and all those who help us raise money to fund the visual arts in Norfolk.
