until 25 September 2022
England has a reputation for the variety of its gardens and the informal balance of its designed landscapes. Gardening is seen as a national pastime. Nowhere are these expressions of cultivated creativity more evident than in the verdant gardens and park at Houghton Hall, which, during 2022, is marking its 300th year. Art has been a vital component. Houghton Hall’s permanent contemporary collection continues this story. Avant Gardeners is the first time C&C have configured an exhibition in the Stables that directly compliments the gardens and park at Houghton Hall.

Contemporary and Country (C&C) present contemporary art and handmade objects by established artists and makers based in the east of England in pop-up exhibitions at non-gallery spaces, that celebrate our rural surroundings.The artists and makers we display live and work in rural locations, often including the natural world in their subject matter or production process. Together they bring about a closer understanding of the countryside and the people that live there. They look creatively beyond the passing trend and encourage greater consideration for nature, as its appreciation and preservation becomes ever more prescient to our time.
