Open Submission staff show at Norwich University of the Arts Gallery
The exhibition, entitled ‘Hidden in Plain Sight’, reflects the active engagement of NUA staff with creative practice across a range of subject disciplines in arts, design, architecture and media. The intention of the exhibition is to bring to the attention of our students, and our wider University and City communities, the high quality creative outputs of staff who are the forefront of teaching and creative practice.
The final selection of works has been made by Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery Curator of Modern Art, Hannah Higham and NUA Visiting Professor Nichola Johnson, former Director of the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts.
About the selectors: From 1997 until 2010, Nichola Johnson was Director of the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, here she also set up the Museology and Museum Leadership programmes. She remains involved in various academic, mentoring and training activities, with a particular interest in unlocking creativity within cultural organisations. She is chair of the Executive Board of the East Anglian Art Fund and is a board member of the Norfolk and Norwich Festival, Dulwich Picture Gallery, Pallant House Gallery, the Soane Museum, the National Trust and the Clore Leadership Programme.
