Bircham Contemporary Arts

Located in Holt, Norfolk, England, the Bircham Gallery – also known as Bircham Contemporary Arts – is one of the most respected independent art galleries in the eastern part of the country.  Specializing in artists and crafts folk from East Anglia, visitors can view a wide array of contemporary paintings, ceramics, jewellery, and sculpture in a professional and comfortable atmosphere.  The exhibits change on a regular basis so visitors will want to re-visit over and over again.
The gallery is housed in a pink Georgian era building in the town centre.  It was established in 1988 and its excellent reputation has been nurtured over the years.  Not only can visitors see the actual pieces themselves, but they can also view stock works by the many artists who have displays in the gallery.  The price ranges vary so everyone can find something that fits their personal pocketbook and taste.  Everything from landscape painting to studio ceramics is available for purchase.
The Bircham Contemporary Arts centre will be hosting exhibits from Hilke MacIntyre and Antia Klein in May and June of 2008.  MacIntyre is a German born artist who specializes in painting, linocut prints, and ceramic reliefs in the simple figurative form.  Klein is the former president of the Royal Society of Printmakers.
The gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 9:00am to 5pm and from 10:00am to 4:00pm on bank holidays.  They are closed on Sundays.  Admission is free and there is a shop featuring art books, magazines, gift tokens and cards.  The gallery is wheelchair friendly, but disabled patron should be advised that there is a step up into the gallery proper.
