Artists groups and studios

Studio space in Norwich
OUTPOST is pleased to announce that we have secured Gildengate House, Anglia Square with a view to set up studio spaces for OUTPOST members. Initially there will be two floors of studios and one floor as a more flexible space which could be used as an events/project space. The studios will be available in a range of sizes and prices. We want this to become an active space and an exciting working venue. Once we have a list of potential studio holders we will allocate spaces and discuss individual requirements, so if you are interested, please email ellie@norwichoutpost.org with your full details.
