In Cromer, unknown.artists.collective will develop a site-specific work on the beach and directly in front of Artspace on the Prom.

Artspace on the Prom and the town will be filled with exciting prints, creating discussion and engagement about printmaking as well as showcasing individual artists and providing opportunities to buy original work.

Sam Hodge, Liz McGowan, Geoff Litherland, Yelena Popova: Painters who actively search for the more sustainable ways of living and working, building their studio practices away from the consumption of ready made art materials most of which are products of petrochemical industry.

Ruth Butler uses shapes and patterns found in both natural and man made forms, interested in the interaction between chance and control and our emotive response to colour.

Hanse Experiments (Part I) brought us into contact with a variety of local people who have influenced the way we think about the Norfolk coastline and the North Sea. In Part II, exactly 12 months on, we are not only returning to place, but bringing together some of different strands and people who have informed the work.
