Membership is free to join Artfolk of Norfolk.

Welcome artists,

Artfolk of Norfolk will showcase you as an artist and exhibit your artwork to its best advantage.

Artfolk of Norfolk website and social media platform shows your artwork multiple times – not only as a flat image (as most art websites) but also ‘in room’ settings so that the customer can see your art ‘insitu’ and gives the viewer an idea of scale and size of your artwork. Your latest images will also be shown on the home and about page slide show banners.

What makes Artfolk of Norfolk different to other websites?

You do – the fantastic artists, first and foremost that live and work in the county of Norfolk – and only Norfolk! All our members will be selected for their talents from painters, ceramicists, sculptors, glass makers, printers, jewellers and photographers to name just a few genres that will be on our website.

There is members’ forum on our social media and we will promote and advertise Artfolk of Norfolk artists and our exhibitions / events.  Regular updates of our forthcoming events- both commercial and social will be published to our members.

Each member will have initially 10 pieces of their latest art on Artfolk of Norfolk, growing to a maximum of 20 pieces built up and added to each month over the year. To maintain a fresh look to our website we ask our members to update 1 x new piece of artwork per month which will be loaded onto our website home page and about page sliding banners and feature on our social media.

Artfolk of Norfolk is a community of Norfolk artists

To complement or website and social media platforms we aim to grow to have 6 Artfolk of Norfolk exhibitions a year that will be a mixture of large county shows and our own researched and chosen locations. We will book the venues and have our own stand(s) to create an umbrella showcase promoting the Artfolk of Norfolk artists. This will enable several members to share in the costs, setting up, taking down and invigilation. We will book and offer the space available to our members on a first come first served basis. In addition, we will host workshops and seminars with discounts for members.

So, what does all this cost?

Annual membership – no fee!

When booking art spaces for exhibitions, the cost will be divided between the displaying artists with no fees for art displayed and the space will be divided fairly as will costs for press and preview events. Our aim is to have a diverse range of art styles and genres that will attract visitors to suit most needs. There is a small commission fee for admin, website, publishing and material costs – this will be sent to you after your application has bee reviewed.
