OUTPOST at 20

OUTPOST at 20 celebrates 20 years of OUTPOST as East Anglia’s oldest artist-led space. This 10-week exhibition, selected by OUTPOST’s committee, acts as an archive to revisit the 165 exhibitions, diverse residencies, events and studio activity over the last 2 decades.

Reflecting on our 20th Birthday, the exhibition highlights the importance of artist-led and DIY arts spaces, as well as looking at the 60+ volunteers who have championed and led OUTPOST during their 2 year tenures on the organisation’s rolling steering committee. It journeys from OUTPOST’s founding in 2004 to the creation of OUTPOST Studios in 2010, all the way to the present as we look to the future.

The exhibition asks what the future could hold for alternative, autonomous art spaces, how to continuously challenge established norms, foster innovation, and create collaborative communities that fuel artistic expression and dialogue.
