For Artists

Cromer Artspace is focussed on artists. We aim to contribute to the development of art practice and theory, to exhibit world class, varied and innovative contemporary art and to be recognised regionally and nationally.

Info for Artists

The Bigger Picture

The Bigger Picture turns Cromer’s streets into an open‑air gallery, breaking art out of the gallery and putting world‑class images where everyone can see them. No tickets. No barriers. Just art, right in the heart of everyday life.

Working with national and regional galleries our unique Bigger Picture project brings life-size reproductions of major artworks to the streets of Cromer.
