OUTPOST
An artist-run gallery developing emerging contemporary art practices in Norwich.
OUTPOST is an artist-run gallery, founded in November 2004, that is based in Norwich and committed to the development of emerging contemporary art practices. The organisation has a core programme of twelve exhibitions per year (selected both from the members' archive and a wider pool), and a programme of events that includes film nights, artists' talks and critical discussions. OUTPOST is run by its artist members, eight of whom form a steering committee and manage the gallery in a voluntary capacity. As the organisation approaches its 50th month-long exhibition, the current programme features a typically broad range of practices, with Plastique Fantastique: Protocols for Deceleration in October, followed by a solo show by Lucy Harrison in November. OUTPOST is supported by Arts Council England East, Norfolk County Council, Norwich City Council and Norwich Gallery.
