Stefan Gurney, executive director at the BID, said, 'This is a fantastic project for the city and we are delighted to spread the geographical reach of the murals to the expanded BID area.

'We want Norwich's urban art to be executed in a distinctive way, with each piece unique to Norwich interpreting the city's history, surroundings, and vision for the years ahead.

'Norwich's story telling heritage isn't just told about words, its stories are told through its architecture, culture and art.'

Ann Mitchell, general manager at Riverside Entertainment said, 'We are delighted to be part of the urban art project and see our building used as the canvas for the largest mural in the city.'

Norwich BID is searching for a truly exceptional artist to create a 21st century masterpiece for this magnificent medieval city during a year which sees big anniversaries and commemorations for some of the largest names in art history, including Salvador Dali, Piet Mondrian, Leonardo Da Vinci and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
