‘They’ being the buying public, gallery and shop owners, magazine editors, interior decorators – the people kind of people who want to know about YOU.

At gardenhousePR we promote some of the finest artists and makers in Norfolk, so you can get on with doing what you do best. We aim to get good work noticed, and in turn, put Norfolk on the map as a great destination for all things creative and arty. We work with individuals, galleries and art support groups, providing targeted media coverage, sensible advertising campaigns, promotions, exhibitions and events.

Photography of you and your work
Excellent images are vital if you want to be included in today’s quality printed and online media. Images can also be made for art cards and limited edition prints.
Press Releases
Get the message out there effectively, professionally, in good time, in a style the media will use. We write and distribute relevant, punchy copy, to both local and national media.
Exhibitions
Selected artists may be chosen to exhibit their work at the Garden House Gallery.
Who are we?
Hilary Hann and Sarah Morgan: A perfect PR partnership

Hilary Hann launched the Garden House Gallery five years ago to showcase some of Norfolk’s finest artists and makers, bringing an ever-changing vibrancy to Cromer’s art scene. She has a knack for spotting creative talent and getting their work ‘out there’. The gallery & shop is uniquely unstuffy, a fun place to be & full of exciting art and homey desirables – mostly made in Norfolk.

Before coming to Norfolk Hilary was a successful clothing designer, notably for Whistles and Howies. She taught at the London College of Fashion, inspiring students to problem-solve in the design industry. She is a formidable organiser and brings flair, foresight and creative intelligence to gardenhousePR.

Sarah Morgan has been a journalist for 20 years, editing a number of lifestyle magazines. She is also an artist, and understands the toe-curling misery of hawking work around galleries. At the first slammed door she took matters into her own hands and used her knowledge of the media to promote her paintings. This she has done very successfully, with sell-out exhibitions and attention-grabbing media coverage.
She has also worked in PR for the art and wedding industries. It came to her attention early on that many excellent artists are notoriously bad at self-promotion, so set about doing it for them.
Together: Hilary and Sarah are very nice, utterly approachable and looking for clever people to represent. So if that’s you, please make an appointment to see us at gardenhousePR.

Green Pebble
Free magazine exclusively for the visual arts.

This quarterly full-colour magazine was launched in March 2007. With a print run of some 11,000 copies it is the largest free magazine dealing exclusively with art and craft in Cambridge, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk. Our ambition is to celebrate the richness and diversity of our local arts and crafts as well as to encourage people to buy original works of art and visit more of our local galleries. We offer local artists the opportunity to promote their work in a full A4 colour page of the magazine and then help the interested public find that artist throughout the following year through the magazine's published artists tracking service. The editorial appeals to people who like to buy art whilst not forgetting those who make such items. Accordingly we believe the magazine to be of significant use to:

Artists and craftspeople trying to promote their work
Galleries and other such promoters of art
Commercial studios of craft
Businesses promoting original and individual items of fine workmanship
Suppliers to the arts sector
Our policies favour local artists, studios and firms. Our editorial content also covers new developments from the various regional art and craft societies, municipal funding matters, retrospectives on local artists as well as interesting projects from local photographic societies. Listings enable the public to see 'what's on' at the galleries and track individual artists exhibitions all year long. For more information visit our website or Tel: 01502 586030
