About this event
With its reputation for high standards of fresh and contemporary work, Artworks East seeks to interest and inspire in a wide range of media created by 30 of East Anglia’s leading artists.
A highlight of the East Anglian art scene, this is a great opportunity to see contemporary 2D and 3D work by 30 of East Anglia’s established and popular artists. All the exhibits are new to the Artworks each year and are for sale.
A great favourite of the exhibition is the Mini Artworks Prize Draw; thirty mini artworks created by the Artworks artists will be on display during the main exhibition and the proceeds benefit their Schools Programme and a chosen East Anglian charity.
There are also daily opportunities to meet the artists at the exhibition, who will be demonstrating how they create their work:
Saturday 21 September – Laurie Rudling and Lucy Perry
Sunday 22 September – Lyn Aylward
Monday 23 September – Eileen Revett and Judith Glover
Tuesday 24 September – Martin Coe
Wednesday 25 September – Val Armstrong
Thursday 26 September – Cathy d’Arcy
Friday 27 September – Chris Gamble and Terry Bryan
Saturday 28 September – Christine McKechnie and Val Armstrong
Sunday 29 September – Hazel Bradshaw and Sue Caddy
The setting for the exhibition is the spectacular thatched, late medieval Blackthorpe Barn, part of the Rougham Estate.

Blackthorpe Barn’s black and white signs direct visitors from local roads.

The hot and dry weather has kept our team quite busy. We have focused on watering the newly established trees, ensuring they receive the hydration they need. It’s essential to give these young trees a well-deserved drink, as they play a vital role in our landscape and ecosystem on the Estate.
By supporting these trees, we aim to help them endure the heat and establish strong roots, contributing to the beauty and biodiversity of Rougham Estate for years to come.
