Easterly Artists

Easterly Artists Pop-up exhibition
For 2024, we’re taking over the old “Bet Fred” building in the Triangle section of Lowestoft’s historic High Street and transforming it into an exciting contemporary art gallery. This year, our chosen theme is Connections, to tie in with the Heritage Open Days programme Routes, Networks & Connections.
Connections opens on Friday 6 September and runs till Sunday 15th, so there’s plenty of time to see what’s on show. We’re open every day 10am – 5pm, entry is free and there’s wheelchair access throughout. Look out for the Easterly Artists banners by the entrance.

Women’s Voices with Sian Croose
Popular day workshops, in Norwich, designed to explore a range of

increase our singing confidence and make a fantastic sound together.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced singer, or anything in
between, these harmony filled workshops are accessible, uplifting and fun.
As well as learning great songs, each workshop will look at how your voice works and how to get the most from it, and give you the opportunity to experiment with your range.

Merlina Arts

By

Four established creatives from across Suffolk have come together for this exhibition, which is showing at Merlina Arts, Earsham Mill from Thursday 30 March, ending on Easter Monday 10 April.

Hilary Garner and Norma Read, known as Garner+Read, have exhibited together a number of times around East Anglia, and are delighted to be joined by esteemed artists Ruth McCabe and Diana Capstick.

Garner+Read are well-known for their oil paintings of still life, landscapes, people and animals, and their distinctive use of colour and texture.

Ruth McCabe paints in watercolour, acrylic, oils and collage. Her watercolour work is innovative and abstract in style, capturing the beauty of the Suffolk landscape.

Diana Capstick is a neurodiverse artist whose work includes sculpture, drawing and painting. Her interest is often piqued by current affairs and some of her paintings contain hidden messages; her other work is inspired by the natural world.
