Comment on Farmers’ market hits red tape by Claire Wood

Claire Wood — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 09:31:44 +0000

Norwich City Council added this statement: “The city council fully supports the Farmers’ Market, allowing stallholders to rent space on one of the busiest and most expensive shopping streets in the country at the heavily preferential rate of £135 plus vat and £15 street trading a day – working out at approximately £13 each for the 12 stalls.
“We are surprised this has been interpreted as a lack of support.
“The European Market, which only visits twice a year, has a special events licence to be allowed to serve hot food. The Farmers’ Market is once every two weeks, which is too frequent to be eligible for this.”

Comment on Artists shown the door by K R Pomeroy

I would like to clarify my comment quoted in the article. Some people feel that Norwich is well provided for in terms of visual arts venues. The SCVA does not usually exhibit the work of local artists. NUCA provides for a very specific need – the education of students in the arts at both under-graduate and post-graduate level. The Castle, whilst it has exhibited some local works and individual artists, does not provide a regular venue for “local artists” (I mean by this term professional artists who live locally).
Commercial galleries are businesses and have to “stock” what they know they can sell.

So, having moaned is there a positive suggestion? Yes. We need a civically owned art space. There are two models I am aware of in France. A space which anyone can use once their name comes to the top of the list. The better solution for professional artists who live locally, which also operates (sometimes BOTH systems operate in the same town), is a civically owned space which is allocated to artists by selection. There is a fuller explanation if anyone wants to find out more.

In a Norwich which is a City of Culture it cannot rely on just SCVA, NUCA and the castle to promote the visual arts.
