East Gallery

East Gallery is a city centre public art space showcasing a programme of exhibitions by internationally recognised artists, curators, and design practitioners

Exhibitions are originated by Norwich University of the Arts or in collaboration with national and international partners. All our exhibitions are accompanied by seminars and lectures delivered by specialists and curators, which enrich the University experience for students and those living and working in Norwich, as well as visitors to our city.

This summer East Gallery is launching East Projects, a new series of exhibitions, performances and events that showcase current research from Norwich University of the Arts in the disciplines of Fine Art, Film, Photography, Design and Gaming.

The East Gallery venue and programme is funded by Norwich University of the Arts.

Opening times:

Tuesday – Friday 12–5pm
Saturday 12–4pm

Admission free

Current exhibition

Five colorful, abstract textile masks are displayed on wooden stands in a white-walled gallery. A framed artwork hangs on the back wall above pale wooden flooring. The room is brightly lit.

A Leap of Sympathy

Friday 12 September 2025 – Saturday 13 December 2025

London-based artist Anna Perach presents A Leap of Sympathy, an exhibition inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s Gothic fiction The Tales of Hoffmann.

Perach’s work weaves corporeal forms out of tufted yarn, in a nod towards folk crafts traditionally associated with women artisans and domestic interiors.
