Courting Dis-Art-Ster: Easterly Artists’ new exhibition opens 5 April in Lowestoft’s Old Court Buildings
Easterly Artists at The Grit
Old Court Buildings, Old Nelson St, Lowestoft NR32 1EQ
Opening times: 10am – 4pm, Wednesday – Saturday
Dates: 5 – 22 April 2023 . Free entry.
Easterly Artists’ new exhibition Easterly Artists at The Grit opens on 5 April in the newly-converted Old Court Buildings in Old Nelson Street, Lowestoft.
Originally the home of Lowestoft County and Magistrate’s Court, the buildings passed into private hands last year and have now reopened as The Grit Centre: a focal hub for the town’s arts and other cultural activities.
The new exhibition takes place in what was once the Adult Court, now refurbished to fulfil its new role as an art gallery and with all the fittings removed – except for the old prisoner’s dock, which remains in place to carry out its new function as a viewing area for 3D work.
Easterly Artists at The Grit runs 5 – 22 April 2023. The Grit Centre is The Old Court Buildings, Old Nelson St, Lowestoft NR32 1EQ and is open 10am – 4pm every Wednesday – Saturday. There is wheelchair access to all areas and entry is free.
Getting there
- By car: Parking available opposite the Centre entrance or in the public car park behind it on Whapload Road.
- On foot: 10 minutes’ walk from Lowestoft Station.
