Motion’ will be open 11am to 4pm until Monday 25th

visitors about the work, except on 24th
July, when some of our fabulous team of volunteers will welcome
visitors.
|
|
|
|
There will be a PV on Saturday 15 July from 4-6pm, to which you are most warmly invited.
On Saturday 22nd July 4-5pm Stuart will talk about his work and answer any questions.

|
|
|
|
You may wish to book up for a ’walk and draw’ session with Stuart later in the year and experience for yourself what it feels like to draw outside, while walking, with both hands. Ask about this at the talk.

These Berlin
artists say that they, “work together on the road, in public spaces
and in temporary exhibition situations. On their routes through Great
Britain, they develop site- and context-specific interventions
in existing structures and found situations. The works they create on
the road are often poetic and silent compositions, usually of
ephemeral duration.
|
|
In Cromer,
they will develop a site-specific work on the beach and directly in
front of the Artspace on the Prom.
Come
and join them on 28th
and 29th
July and see what emerges.
We
are very keen to continue to network with artists from across Britain
and Europe and beyond, so do let us know of any contacts and
connections that you may have.

We are delighted that Antony Gormley

Antony invited us to look round his studio, and spoke most warmly about our
lovely Art Deco building and all that we are achieving.

Barry and Ruth went to collect the print from Antony’s studio in London. Here is Alice O’Reilly, Antony’s Executive Assistant, handing it over.

From
the British coastline to the rooftops of Manhattan, Antony Gormley’s
works are recognised across the world. Antony Gormley is widely
acclaimed for his sculptures, installations and public artworks that
investigate the relationship of the human body to space.
Perhaps best-known for his 200-tonne Angel
of the North
installation near Gateshead, Another
Place
on Crosby Beach near Liverpool, and his project involving 2,400
members of the public for Trafalgar Square’s Fourth Plinth, Antony
Gormley is one of the UK’s most celebrated artists.
We
are so pleased to have his support.
You
have the opportunity to win this amazing Antony Gormley framed print
by buying a ticket for £5.

There are workshops and other events
to enjoy during the ‘On the Edge’ Print Exhibition. Book up
online at cromer-artspace.uk
The
Central England Co-op have most generously sponsored two family
workshops at the Co-op store on Middlebrook Way
off the Holt
Road (NR27 9JR).
This
means that these workshops will cost only £3 per family (one adult
and one or two children). We
are most grateful to the Central England Co-op for sponsoring two
family workshops, enabling us to make them affordable.

The closing date for submissions for
our Autumn Exhibition is 25th
August. If you are an artist or have artist friends, have a look on
the website, for full details and the brief from curator Sue Bell.

Art Walks: Pictures Around Cromer
Join us on guided art walks around Cromer and discover some of the 30 life-size replica artworks from the National Gallery, London.

We have been successful in our
application for a ‘Community Ownership Fund‘ grant, in
partnership with NNDC, who will supply match funding. This is
wonderful and will enable us have work done on the roof to make it
watertight, and to resolve some other damp issues.
This
is amazing because, once the roof no longer leaks, we can move on to
work on insulation, heating and lighting. We will continue to lease
the building from the council. Tenders will go out before too long
and we will keep you in touch with progress.

|
Thank
you to all our volunteers, supporters and friends, including Antony
Gormley and the Central England Co-op, staff at Cromer Museum and
Cromer Library, officers and members at NNDC, many artists of all
kinds from near and far, businesses in Cromer, and all our
newsletter readers!! It is great to feel connected to so many
overlapping communities.
