The North Norfolk Exhibition Project at Salthouse Church
Each year, selected artists with a Norfolk connection have produced thought-provoking and exciting work, often inspired by and reflecting the local built and natural environment. Alongside the exhibition, the NNEP organises a programme of poetry and music events, art and craft workshops, artists’ talks and other related events.
In addition to hosting the NNEP’s annual exhibition, Salthouse Church also hosts an ongoing programme of contemporary art exhibitions.
