Norwich Art Path

Artists are invited to apply to the Norwich Art Path, a partnered work for Norfolk & Norwich Festival 2023.

The Norwich Art Path aims to create an active link between two major arts venues in Norwich, Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery and Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts. To launch this initiative, we are commissioning up to 6 artists to propose provocations, interventions and/or actions along the route of the proposed art path.  Audiences will then experience the artistic contributions at locations along its route.

Proposals will be selected to be part of the Norwich Art Path event on Saturday 20 May as part of the Norfolk & Norwich Festival.  The selected proposals will help inform the development of the Norwich Art Path exploring what a creative art path can be, as well as the unique social and physical make-up of Norwich.

To apply for a Norwich Art Path commission, please read the artist brief in full and fill out an application form and equal opportunities monitoring form. Completed applications should be sent to ailsa.mckay@nnfestival.org.uk . You can find the artists brief, forms, and a map for the proposed route below:

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
