Cromer Artspace – art in public spaces
2025 Programme of Exhibitions
We are delighted to announce details of our exhibitions in 2025. We open on Saturday March 22nd with FRAMERATE: Pulse of the Earth. ScanLAB from London have Arts Council funding to show Pulse of the Earth in Cromer and later on in Bristol. The work uses LiDAR scanning to show hypnotic imagery bearing witness to landscapes in flux. The impact of human behaviour and the immense force of nature unfolds around you across an array of screens.
Our programme includes artists from Bridlington and from South Africa as well as from Norwich and North Norfolk. It includes print, sculpture, installation, photography, as well as drawing and painting and work by local children and young people to celebrate the work of the RNLI.
Artspace Survey 2024
Over 330 people took part in the summer 2024 Cromer Artspace survey between July and October. The overwhelming majority gave positive feedback on Cromer Artspace, the Bigger Picture (90% excellent or good) and Artspace on the Prom (85% excellent or good). Many respondents thanked the volunteers who were making it happen.
Artspace on the Prom was seen as an asset to the town with a good range of exhibitions, but needed renovating and better signage.
The Bigger Picture (showing reproductions of artworks around the streets of Cromer) was thought to be a great initiative, bringing art to many who don’t visit galleries, bringing visitors to Cromer.
In terms of the future, the general message was to continue, but with more: more art, more chances to participate and learn, and more spaces for art.
Cromer Artspace receives funding to renovate community space
Cromer’s popular Artspace on the Prom will be given a new lease of life, including lighting and heating, meaning art-lovers can enjoy exhibitions and activities later and longer.
Cromer Artspace are pleased to announce they have been awarded funding of £65,000 from Ørsted (Hornsea 3 Community Benefit Fund) and the North Norfolk Rural Business & Community Grant (NNBRG) to renovate the space this winter.
Cromer Artspace
Cromer Artspace aims to engage and inspire the local community with art in public places, encouraging audience engagement and participation by increasing the understanding of the arts. We aim to be fresh and outward looking, supporting artists and bringing works and events of quality and imagination to Cromer.
Cromer Artspace will enable projects which increase accessibility, support local businesses and help the arts to become valued as a vital part of local life.
