Lives Shaped by Sea and Faith Photographs by Richard Denyer made in Norfolk and the Outer Hebrides. Sad to report that shortly after installing this exhibition at The Hostry at Norwich cathedral Richard passed away suddenly at the age of 65. This is a tragic loss of a talented man. Please read the Guardian obituary here. Great idea

Get Walls is a collaborative art project between www.shhhh.co.uk and Moosey Art, our idea is simple: Get walls to paint on. Our aim is to gain approved permission to paint on residential and commercial properties in Norwich, working with local and guest artists in order to decorate and brighten up the city. When a lot of people think of street art, or graffiti, they think of a rubbish tag by a hooded vandal, on the side of a bridge only visible from a train. This is not what Get Walls is about.

Two major exhibitions opening in Norwich October 2016
Fishermen and Kings: The Photography of Olive Edis 8 October 2016 to 22 January 2017 Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery The life and work of British photographer Olive Edis (1876-1955) is celebrated in the first comprehensive exhibition dedicated to her 50 year-long career. Featuring more than 190 rare photographs, it showcases Edis’ wide-ranging portraiture from British royalty to dignified Norfolk fishermen, together with her important work as the first-ever accredited female war photographer. Edis was only the 5th official British photographer to visit Europe to cover WW1 and her atmospheric photographs capture the devastation that followed the Great War. In addition the exhibition reveals the technical development of Edis’ work and examines her outstanding contribution to the history of photography. The exhibition is part of the on-going Heritage Lottery Funded Olive Edis project, which aims to raise awareness of this pioneering but relatively unknown photographer whose sensitive, affecting work is ripe for rediscovery. The majority of the material is on loan from the Cromer Museum, Norfolk. Fiji: Art & Life in the Pacific 15 October 2016 – 12 February 2017 The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, Revealing stunning sculptures, textiles, ceramics, and ivory and shell regalia, this is the largest and most comprehensive exhibition about Fiji ever assembled and takes the visitor on a journey through the art and cultural history of this dynamic South Seas archipelago since the late 18th century. Over 270 works of art, including European paintings and historic photographs, are being loaned by exhibition partner the Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology at Cambridge, and by the Fiji Museum, the British Museum, the Pitt Rivers Museum (Oxford) and museums in Aberdeen, Birmingham, Exeter, London, Maidstone, as well as Dresden and Leipzig in Germany. A highlight of the exhibition is a beautiful, newly commissioned, eight metre-long double-hulled sailing canoe that has been built in Fiji and shipped here for display; it performed in the recent Pageant for HM The Queen’s 90th Birthday at Windsor Castle. Made entirely of wood and coir cord, with no metal components, the canoe results from a project to encourage canoe-building skills and is a small version of the great 30-metre-long vessels of the 19th century, the biggest canoes ever built.
