Breckland Artists is a group of professional artists who live and work mainly in the south west of Norfolk. Currently 17 strong, it formed in 2002 following participation of the founder members in Norfolk Open Studios. The group has a reputation for work of the high standards while a major factor in its success is the wide diversity of influences, media and disciplines exhibited by the artists. Painting forms a large percentage of the exhibited work, but ceramics, sculpture, glass, textiles, photography and printmaking feature strongly. The Summer Show, this year being held at the Anteros Arts gallery, is the group's main showcase. There is a 'Meet The Artists' tea part on August 16 (1pm-4pm) with homemade cakes and a chance to chat about this year's selected artworks.
