The gallery has hosted over 150 exhibitions featuring artists such as Sadé Mica, Puppies Puppies, Turner Prize nominee Karla Black,[3] Turner Prize winner Elizabeth Price, and Bill Drummond.[4]
Since 2010, OUTPOST has managed a studio complex, known as OUTPOST Studios, at Gildengate House in Anglia Square, formerly the county records office.[5] houses over 80 artist and practitioner studios.[6][7]
History edit
The founding OUTPOST committee was Kaavous Clayton, Julia Devonshire, Robert Filby, Neil Smallbone, Jay Barsby, Phil Gardner, Stephanie Douet and Sarah Horton. The name is a reference to a former artist-led space in Norwich named Frontier.[5]
In 2016, OUTPOST applied for and was granted the status of Charitable Incorporated Organisation, trading as Norwich OUTPOST under the title "#FBF696".[8] The charity's name references the yellow HTML colour code #FBF696 that has been used for branding and marketing by the gallery since its founding.[9]
