East Gallery
East Gallery is a city centre public art space showcasing a programme of exhibitions by internationally recognised artists, curators, and design practitioners
East Gallery at Norwich University of the Arts is one of the UK’s leading university galleries and commissioning venues.
Located in the heart of Norwich, we are a professional exhibition space dedicated to showcasing innovative and challenging contemporary art and design practice. Building on the legacy of EAST International, we look to bring new, exciting and diverse voices to the region to inspire creativity, in all its forms.
We create exhibitions with exceptional artists, designers, academics, and researchers, using our space as a dynamic platform for fresh perspectives and critical conversations. As a university gallery, we recognise our unique role in supporting artists whose work engages with or emerges from research with bold or challenging themes.
All our exhibitions are free admission, and are accompanied by a programme of lectures, seminars, workshops and performances.
