We are thrilled to invite you to our Folklore Exhibition , a ten-day exhibition exploring the rich and varied landscape of East Anglia through selected responses to our open call centred around the theme of folklore. We were truly overwhelmed by the number of responses we received and amazed by the incredible quality of work submitted. 

​

Through contemporary art, research, storytelling, the exhibition invites audiences to discover the myths, legends, customs, and superstitions that have shaped everyday life across the region for generations.

​

Bringing together over 40 artists from Norfolk and beyond, the exhibition considers how folklore continues to influence cultural identity, collective memory, and our relationship to place. It also explores the deeply personal nature of folklore itself - how stories, beliefs, and traditions can shift from person to person and community to community, evolving through retelling and lived experience.

​

Our Folklore Open Call encourages curiosity, participation, and conversation, creating space to encounter the tales, practices, and shared histories that connect communities across time and landscape.

​

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to apply, share your work, and tell us about yourselves. We’re incredibly grateful for the support and passion shown throughout and we truly appreciate every single submission.

​

Everyone is very welcome at the Open Evening on Saturday 6th June.
