Coast

To celebrate the drama of the coast the Culture of the Countryside project ran a series of projects leading up to and during the Cromer and Sheringham Arts festival, involving many artists and local people. Weather was our big theme. It has been described as a chaotic system and it is up to us to notice its many variations as a first stage toward dealing with the gradual signs of climate change. Projects took place, and were exhibited at, The Brick Works, Cromer Road, West Runton, and our special beach huts at Cromer and Sheringham. Supported by CUE East.
