If you’re having trouble deciding which studios to visit, don’t worry! Just sample the artists’ work at one of 8 ‘taster’ exhibitions being held around the county, and your indecision will disappear...

Norfolk Open Studios is all about visiting individual artists in their own studios and workshops. But the scheme has grown to include more than 200 artists across the county, which presents art-lovers with a problem: how to choose the artists to visit? To solve the problem, the steering committee has organised 8 taster exhibitions that include work from many of the participating artists in each district.

Taster exhibitions and dates.
