To celebrate our new exhibition Pictures From an Exhibition , artists Malca Schotten and Emily Hopkins will be leading participants in making their own mini gallery spaces.

Inspired by the work of Malca Schotten and documentary photographer Barbara Laws, we will be exploring the theme of engagement in the arts by creating miniature artworks and figures to be in our miniature galleries.

This event is FREE, but spaces are limited. Please book early to reserve your place via the link above. Children must be over 6 years old and accompanied at all times by an adult.

Malca Schotten
Raised in London, Schotten is a Norwich-based artist renowned for her huge, energetic drawings. Her weighted, sculptural figures transcend the depth of paper - it is unsurprising she was taught by Anish Kapoor at the Hornsey College of Art. Schotten’s subjects have included skilled rural craftsmen, colossal suburban trees, and her personal journey through pregnancy.

Schotten has exhibited in East Anglia and across the UK including the National Portrait Gallery: John Player Portrait Award, the Prince's Foundation, Shoreditch, The Royal Academy and Kettles Yard, Cambridge.

She has work in collections in Europe and the UK.

A key feature of Schotten’s working practice is making work for public interest-focused projects which have previously been funded by Arts Council England, including I’m Not Dead Yet, The East Anglia Rural Building Trade Project and Lives in Science. Her current project spanning over the last two and a half years ‘Pictures From An Exhibition’, is a body of work in-progress conceived in the Sainsbury Centre For The Visual Arts, Norwich.
