Unconsumed - Exhibition

4 March 11:00

A cross-generational, multi-disciplinary, post-pandemic exhibition by East Anglian artists, supported by the East Anglia Art Fund.

Artists Georgia Green and Eleanor Rodwell are presenting a 6-day-long group show of artists rooted in East Anglia, opening at The Shoe Factory (Norwich) on 4/3/23.

Aiming to champion inclusivity and the area’s thriving art scene, ‘Unconsumed’ will showcase the breadth of local creatives, particularly those from non-traditional arts backgrounds. The exhibition will also be an opportunity to show pieces made during the pandemic, highlighting the importance of creativity during lockdown and how making is a very human response to crisis.

We’re looking for submissions from artists living and practicing in, or with a strong connection to East Anglia. We particularly welcome artists without a formal arts education, who live in rural areas or who have found it hard to show artworks made during the pandemic. Creatives at any point in their career are encouraged to apply.

Email unconsumed.theshoefactory@gmail.com for submission guidelines and details. Follow us on Instagram (@unconsumed.theshoefactory) for Open Call and exhibition updates.

Deadline is 8th February
