In Proiximity: Norwich Castle Open Art Show brings together artists, working in sculpture, painting, drawing, ceramics, photography and film from across East Anglia.
The exhibition, which takes experiences of closeness as its theme, is the result of an open call issued in partnership with East Anglia Art Fund (EAAF) and is one of the largest open art shows ever held at Norwich Castle.
All the works on show are available for sale, with the proceeds going to the artists and towards EAAF’s support for exhibitions and art education in the region.
Jarrolds is also sponsoring a prize, which will be awarded to one of the participating artists in April.
Artists working in Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex were invited to submit up to two pieces each.
Submissions were selected anonymously in December 2025 by writer and curator Sarah Lowndes and artists Daniel & Clara, alongside Amanda Geitner, director of EAAF, and Lisa Newby, Norwich Castle’s curator of modern and contemporary art.
Ms Newby said: “Open art shows are such an important opportunity for Norwich Castle to strengthen our connection with creative practitioners across East Anglia.
“I am so grateful to the artists who responded to the call out and to this year’s brilliant independent selectors.
“It has been a joy to bring the artworks together in the galleries at the museum.”
In Proximity opens at Norwich Castle Museum on Saturday (February 14) and runs until Sunday, June 14.
The artwork on show can be bought by contacting EAAF at info@eastangliaartfund.org.uk
