Our members are back with an array of new work from some of East Suffolk’s finest visual artists.
Based on the theme “Art At The Edge” and with work in a wide range of mediums – from painting to pastels, collage to ceramics to chromatography – there’s something to suit every artistic taste.

We will again be located in a marquee beside the boating pond in Kensington Gardens, and will have our EA banners out, so keep an eye out for these. We’re aiming to again run a series of interactive sessions and demonstrations, but confirmation/further details will be provided nearer the time.
