Art on the Railings
Art on the Railings runs for one weekend every month throughout the year. Now in its fourth year, this event continues to bring art into the urban environment. It is designed to enhance the city centre and promote just one part of Norwich’s rich and diverse culture by giving artists the chance to display their artwork in a space away from the traditional gallery setting.
