8 Coast Arts More than a festival Coast Arts 2016 is a quiet revolution from the Coast Festival you know (and love!). More than a week of art in the autumn half term. The Coast Festival (going under the title of Cromer and Sheringham Art and Literary Festival) started 6 years ago with an annual, autumn, week long arts festival in North Norfolk. Coast Arts has come along way since those early days. For 2016 Coast Arts has decided to evolve its remit from just the annual autumn week of activities to running a strong programme of quality activities throughout the year, building on relationships with strategic partners such as the Cromer Pier Pavilion Theatre and Arts North Norfolk. Last year Coast Arts introduced the very popular North Norfolk s Great Talent (#nngt) which concluded with a grand final in the Cromer Pier Pavilion Theatre. This year Coast has some other new initiatives with the Pier: ChoirFest at Easter celebrating the talent of local choirs and School s Les Miserables in the autumn. Coast Arts is working with the Crab and Lobster Festival to bring an open air art exhibition to Cromer next year, and with Arts North Norfolk to bring music and drama to North Lodge Park Art Competition Call for entries Quiet Revolution The annual Coast Arts art competition has become one of the key elements of the festival; encouraging artists from across the spectrum the competition inspires both professional and amateur artists to create unique works for display, for sale and for fun!
