Picturecraft Gallery and Exhibition CentreThe Picturecraft Gallery opened in 1972 and is now firmly established as one of East Anglia’s leading art venues. Entering the award winning Picturecraft Art Gallery situated in Holt, Norfolk is a pleasant surprise. There is a very large, open plan exhibition space containing many beautiful original works of art. The gallery has been tastefully divided into thirty-two separate alcoves, each one dedicated to an individual exhibitor. A unique ’non-commission’ system of display attracts some of the UK’s finest professional and semi-professional artists. The range and variety of original artwork on show is simply amazing, there truly is something to suit everybody’s taste. Surprisingly, the gallery stages fourteen such exhibitions each year interlinked with five major events. Needless to say, this venue attracts visitors from all over the world.
